The piece was composed in 1827 and was premiered in Paris in the same year. It is a solo guitar piece that is divided into three movements. The first movement of the 'Fantasie Élégiaque' is marked 'Andante Largo' and is characterized by its slow and mournful melody. The movement begins with a simple and haunting theme that is repeated throughout the piece. The melody is accompanied by arpeggios and chords that create a sense of depth and emotion. The movement builds to a climax before returning to the original theme. The second movement of the piece is marked 'Allegro Moderato' and is a lively and energetic contrast to the first movement. The movement is characterized by its fast and intricate fingerwork, with the melody moving quickly up and down the fretboard. The movement is full of technical challenges for the guitarist, including rapid scale runs and arpeggios. The final movement of the 'Fantasie Élégiaque' is marked 'Andante' and returns to the melancholic mood of the first movement. The movement is characterized by its beautiful and lyrical melody, which is accompanied by delicate arpeggios and chords. The movement builds to a climax before ending with a gentle and peaceful coda. Overall, the 'Fantasie Élégiaque for guitar, Op. 59' is a beautiful and emotional piece of music that showcases Sor's skill as a composer and guitarist. The piece is characterized by its haunting melodies, intricate fingerwork, and technical challenges. It remains a popular piece in the classical guitar repertoire to this day.
