"Romance anónimo" (Anonymous Romance) is a piece for guitar, also known as "Estudio en mi de Rubira" (Study in E by Antonio Rubira), "Spanish Romance", "Romance de España", "Romance de amor", "Romance of the Guitar", "Romanza" and "Romance d'amour" among other names.
Its origins and authorship are currently in question. It is suspected of originally being a solo instrumental guitar work, from the 19th century. It has variously been attributed to Antonio Rubira, David del Castillo, Francisco Tárrega, Fernando Sor, Daniel Fortea, Miguel Llobet, Antonio Cano, Vicente Gómez and Narciso Yepes.
On the earliest recording of "Romance" on a cylinder, featuring guitarist Simón Ramírez made in Madrid sometime between 1897 and 1901, the work in question is titled "Sort-Estudio para Guitarra por S. Ramirez". It is highly likely that the name "Sort" — as it occurs on the cylinder's title — refers to Fernando Sor, as Sor's surname is sometimes also spelled "Sort" or "Sorts".
