Fernando Sor (baptized 14 February 1778 – died 10 July 1839) was a Spanish classical guitarist and composer. While he is best known for his guitar compositions, he also composed music for a wide range of genres, including opera, orchestra, string quartet, piano, voice, and ballet. Sor's contemporaries considered him to be the best guitarist in the world, and his works for guitar have been widely played and reprinted since his death. His works for guitar range from pieces for beginning players to advanced players. One of Sor's most popular compositions is his Introduction and Variations on a Theme by Mozart, Op. 9.

Stefano Grondona (born 21 July 1958 in Genoa) is an Italian classical guitarist. Andrés Segovia, in an interview from 1985, mentioned Grondona as one of his four most significant pupils, alongside with John Williams, Oscar Ghiglia and  Alirio Díaz. Grondona has collaborated with Luca Waldner in writing the book La Chitarra di Liuteria - Masterpieces of Guitar Making. In 2002 Grondona formed the guitar ensemble Nova Lira Orfeo XXI, based on Lira Orfeo - a Barcelona music society of which Miguel Llobet was founder and director. He is Professor of Guitar at the State Conservatory of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy.
