5.0 out of 5 stars Best collection of the Brazilian master! January 2, 2002
By Matthew J. Haddon
I was so excited when this book came out about 8 years ago. The exact works as put to paper by Heitor Villa-Lobos. And the price is right! It used to be you would need to spend over 100 bucks for all the guitar works. Etudes, preludes and the Brazilian suites along with the Choros no. 1.
Easy to follow harmonic explinations in the back of the book. This is a must have for all classical guitarists. The best music investment I made in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars What can you say? October 16, 2006
By M. Maxwell
Probably the pinnacle of achievement in 20th century classical guitar works, certainly among Brazilian composers.

Rating something like this is like rating Shakespeare. The work itself innately valuable, it's just a matter of the accuracy of translation. To that effect this collection succeeds beautifully. You get all his guitar works, plus there is a much needed section at the end which clarifies harmonics and fingering patterns penned by Villa-Lobos himself.

This collection contains all the composer's solo guitar compositions. Here is a list of the contents:

- Choros No. 1 (Typico)

- Suite Populaire Bresilienne

- 12 Etudes

- 5 Preludes

These works are among the most important and innovative in the classical guitar repertiore. Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing June 7, 2009
By david diaz
Amazon Verified Purchase
The works are left as villa lobos intended with all of his reccomended fingerings and notation left intact despite the sometimes unclear intentions and incredibly difficult fingerings. The harmonics are also confusing but a section is reserved in the back that translates them into tarrega's notation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Had to purchase this for class and I have already seen improvement. I've only done the first etude but I can tell I will learn much by reading through these pieces.

4.0 out of 5 stars Arrived ahead of time. Clean manuscript.
Came 2 days ahead of schedule.

The book is thin and I would worry about the binding giving way. Spiral binding would have been a better idea. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Composer
His compositions are so alluring, lilting, and they make you lean in. I'll enjoy practicing these for years to come.

Product is very good and high quality. It looses a 5th star due to a plastic and not paper back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but lack of fingerings and other explanations makes it opaque...
The music is great, but I wonder if there are other editions out there. I think most people are reviewing the compositions and not this collection specifically. Read more
