Edizione critica di Frédéric Zigante. The Cinq Préludes by Heitor Villa-Lobos represent the Brazilian composer?s last work for solo guitar and were written in the summer of 1940. They do not constitute a single cycle, but rather a heterogeneous collection, similar in spirit to a collection of pages from an album, with each one developing, in its own individual way, a different stylistic principle. In terms of instrumental technique, Heitor Villa-Lobos places the Préludes in a kind of ideal balance point between the still nineteenth-century writing style of the Suite populaire brésilienne and the daring instrumental experimentation of the Douze Études. In the present edition, the manifold editorial issues concerning Heitor Villa-Lobos? guitar music have been affronted by looking at of all of the sources available today: these efforts have thus enabled us to put together a more reliable text than those before it both in terms of the notes and the fingerings.

Charles Postlewate: Homage to Villa-Lobos And Other Compositions is the first compilation of Guitar music for a right hand technique that includes the little finger.The 12 complete compositions includeoriginal pieces by Charles Postlewate (Homage to Villa-Lobos Variations on a Theme of Prokofiev and Improvisation on Green Dolphin Street) transcriptions of piano pieces by Claude Debussy (La puerta del vino and Dr. Gradus adParnassum) arrangements of Peruvian popular songs (José Mar a and Virgins of the Sun) and new editions of standard repertoire pieces - two studies by Fernando Sor and the beautiful tremolo study by Agust n Barrios An Alm for theLove of God. Postlewate also includes excerpts of two other standard repertoire pieces by Federico Moreno Torroba (Sonatina) and Heitor Villa-Lobos (Prelude #2) - which are published elsewhere under copyright restrictions -to show the advantage of using the little finger. These pieces demonstrate new right hand techniques for the classical Guitar that use the little finger in the playing of scales chords arpeggios tremolos and harmonics. Theyalso show the advantage of using the little finger for speed accuracy strength and balance.Spanish Description[Esta es la primera recopilación de música para la guitarra usando una técnica de lamano derecha de cinco dedos que incluye el dedo meñique.
