Fernando Sor

(1778 - 1839)

L'Encouragement
for Two Guitars - Opus 34
Edited by Andrew Forrest

Cantabile
Theme and Variations
Valse

Editors note: Rather than keeping to Sors original idea

of having the Guitar 1 part for the student and the Guitar 2
part for the teacher, I have shared out the parts equally
(where, in the original, the same part would have had the repeat)

In the event of a public performance, please include

the arranger's name on the programme
