highest f major chord?

Sor's Fantasy no. 2 (op. 7) is a spectacular piece. For those of you who have the Bream Baroque Guitar record and have heard the piece that way keep in mind: Bream only plays the Introduction. There's a whole theme and variations which follow, some of which are truly remarkable.

Remarkable in terms of just having to deal with a somewhat uncomfortable fingering examine the following passage from the B section of the 3rd variation:


Yes, that F chord is stratospheric! Yes on the electric guitar (or any guitar with a cutaway) this is not a real beast. But keep in mind: the lowest fret here is the 13th. I'd be tempted to introduce some rubato at this point just to accommodate this technical aspect.

By the way: you shredders should check out the 6th variation...
