These variations are based on the famous B Minor study by Fernando Sor (Op. 35, No.22; Segovia No. 5). The haunting melody has been begging me for years to be in tremolo ("Sor-ega") and that was the impetus to do these variations (and to move to E minor). The second variation, in E major ("Sor-cassi"), reveals the sunny side of this melody. I imagine it is a ’lost’ study by Carcassi (Op. 60, No. 26!)The last variation, "Sor-os" considers what may have happened if Sor met Villa-Lobos.

seView Scorch plug-in Viewer help

Which method of viewing music should I use?

Score Exchange has two methods of display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:

seView

seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.

You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.

Scorch

Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. Scorch generally works well if you're using a windows computer, but is currently not compatible with modern Mac computers or mobile devices.

If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
