Villa-Lobos

Etude No. 5

Taught by renowned guitarist 

Gabriel Bianco

The word "study" has changed in meaning over the centuries; by the time Villa-Lobos wrote his 12 etudes for the guitar, he had created twelve concert-worthy pieces. In his lesson on Etude No. 5, Gabriel Bianco shows how even though this work has the same general character throughout, the development of eerie, dissonant intervals into warm consonance by the end provides ample opportunity for storytelling.
