Adónde vas, Fernando incauto

“Adónde vas, Fernando incauto” with words and music by Fernando Sor, despite the date 1811 given in the original edition, probably dates in fact from the time of the Seville junta of 1809 (on this dating see the new 2020 third edition of my book Fernando Sor Composer and Guitarist which is in nkoda). This song has a steady and uninterrupted march tempo in the background, a dramatic compositional idea indeed. For more details about this song, and about all the other songs in this anthology of songs from the war, please see my book España de la guerra: the Spanish political and military songs of the war in Spain 1808 to 1814 which is available in nkoda.
