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.
