Suitable for players at every level, this manual concisely illustrates every aspect of interpretation with text, diagrams, and music. It presents a complete review of the principles of tone production and fingering, with respect to intervals of thirds and sixths, phrasing of melody, and special problems of right-hand articulation and harmonics.

Sor takes a contrarian stance in his view of accompaniment as an important and difficult art, modeled after the piano and orchestra and requiring well-constructed bass lines. In this vein, he analyzes the accompaniment of Haydn's oratorio The Creation with a complete musical excerpt. Other featured pieces include "Là ci darem a la mano" from Mozart's Don Giovanni, a romance by Cherubini, and an air by Paisiello, in addition to numerous exercises.
