Hi Mohammad,

Fernando Sor has quite a few Studies but if you're meaning Opus 60, No.8 this is what I wrote about it in the Classical Guitar Study Course...

"This Sor study has lots of notes that have to be held for
their entire length. This includes both whole notes
(semi-breves) and half-notes (minims). This is not
particularly hard as the tempo of the piece is fairly fast
but it's very important in terms of its sound.



What I'm saying is don't lift your fingers of notes too
early as it will affect the overall intended sound of
the piece. I believe Sor was a master composer who never
put a note in the wrong place. He especially knew how to
write a study for a beginner/intermediate for both didactic
and pleasure purposes."

I hope this was of help.

Kind regards,
Trevor M.
