Comparison between 1st and 2nd editions:
"Meissonnier once again simplifies this passage. These changes are not those of a composer changing his conception of the piece, this is confirmed by the fact that it is only as a composer that Sor would have wanted Meissonnier to remedy the faults of the first edition by insisting on re-engraving and re-striking the plates." — K. A. Hartdegen, Fernando Sor's Theory of Harmony Applied to the Guitar: History, Bibliography and Context, PhD Dissertation, pp.672-677, December 2011.
