The essence of the edition is that Segovia selected and assembled 20 studies from Sor's enormous output of music, based on their musical and technical qualities. He went on to add fingerings, dynamics, articulations, and in many instances, tempo indications. In effect, he imparted his own unparalleled musical and technical expertise and created a true performer's edition
