Book Description

It was the late 1930s; the Great Depression was taking its toll. Life in the suburbs of Massachusetts was a daily hand-to-mouth struggle for Robert and his family. Every cent was precious...

Amidst the quagmire of hardships and the estrangement of his parents, Robert lived life to the dregs with his fellows. Innocent pranks, adolescent fantasies, dare-devil acts featured his days...

President Roosevelt's declaration to enter into World War II was a clarion call for the fifteen-year-old Robert to get enlisted. He knew he had to join the Navy somehow. But how? The eligble age was seventeen. Suddenly he remembered his birth certificate and the words of a typist...

There was no stopping him now.

Book Description

The music of the prolific Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) typifies Brazil, in its diversity, spirit of racial amalgam, and awesome beauty. Through the sheer quantity of his output, his original use of folkloric material, and the striking accessibility of his scores, Villa-Lobos has become the
best-known and most significant Latin American composer of all time. This book provides an introduction to his music, and by focusing attention on important or unusual works from his large oeuvre, charts Villa-Lobos's own often anguished musical journey through the Brazilian landscape. Jungle,
grasslands, river, city, and ocean all find a legitimate place in his aural mosaic of Brazil, but as he approached death his music assumed a deep spiritual quality of peace and resignation. His personal journey of discovery and fulfillment is clearly explained, set against the pervasive backdrop of
social and political upheaval which characterized Brazil during Villa-Lobos's lifetime.

What can you say?.......2006-10-16

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.

Best collection of the Brazilian master!.......2002-01-03

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.

Mel Bay presents Right-Hand Studies for Five Fingers

ASIN: 0786659661

Book Description

This is the first compilation of guitar music for a right hand technique that includes the little finger. The 12 complete compositions include original 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 ad Parnassum), arrangements of Peruvian popular songs (José María and Virgins of the Sun) and new editions of standard repertoire pieces - two studies by Fernando Sor and the beautiful tremolo study by Agustín Barrios, An Alm for the Love 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. They also show the advantage of using the little finger for speed, accuracy, strength and balance. All of these compositions are recorded by Postlewate on the accompanying 60 minute CD, HOMAGE TO VILLA-LOBOS - MB 98711CD. This book is a companion to MB 98710 - RIGHT HAND STUDIES FOR FIVE FINGERS using Chords, Arpeggios, Tremolos and Harmonics , also by Charles Postlewate.

Nice music, shame about the edition.......2007-05-12

Dover Publications must have run out of ink when printing this - the music was pale grey, and almost impossible to read. I returned it along with another Dover music score, impossible to read for another reason: Iberia and Espana by Albeniz, where 20 pages were overprinted with music staves running UP the page. Amazon gave a refund of course, so full marks to them, and none to Dover.

It's a Doll's World..........2001-05-06

A prole de bebe 1--"The Baby's Family"--is a wonderful suite with each part devoted to a specific doll. These pieces are not for children, however. They are a look back on the things that bring joy to youth. Brazilian folk song quotations are heard throughout the entire suite, and it is fun to hear how these tunes influence the development of each doll. The dolls include a porcelian white doll, which is only played with on special occasions. One can hear this in the majestic opening, and this piece includes one of the more obvious uses of folk song. My personal favorite is the "brunette doll". The joy of playing with this well-loved doll is apparent throughout the piece. Some other gems include the rhythmic "Little black doll", the slow, poignantly beautiful and sad "Poor little rag doll", and the mysterious "Little witch doll". The most famous doll, however, is "The Punch Doll", a rapid toccata-like movement made famous by Artur Rubenstein, who often performed this piece as an encore. I highly recommend these fun pieces to any able pianist. They are wonderful to put on a recital, as much fun to hear as they are to play. As proof, try listening to the Marc-Andre Hamelin recording of both Baby's Family suites.
