This guitarist was born in Barcelona, Spain. Fernando
Sor was descended from a family of career soldiers, and
initially planned to continue in this life. However his
love of music was sparked after he was introduced to
Italian opera, and to the guitar by his father. His
mother saw his musical interests as a distraction from
a military career, and so enrolled him in a military
school. Sor continued to thrive musically though, by
composing in his spare time.
