Chanterelle, 1987, 27 pages, ISBN 3-89044-041-XThis Masterclass volume explores the music of Hector Villa-Lobos. Villa-Lobos played his own guitar compositions when other performers could not master them. Certainly a number of the studies employ mechanisms that could only have been approached with a fresh technical concept. Some of these techniques can still be considered revolutionary and at the time that they appeared they must have been in opposition to a number of established ideas. With Villa-Lobos a new guitar was born, a truly South American guitar, not just because of the harmonic, melodic and rhythmic elements employed, but also because of the technique it demanded. -Abel Carlevaro.Prelude Number 1
