Summary of This Book
This collection brings together a best-of of the most beautiful works by Heitor Villa-Lobos specially arranged for piano, in a style faithful to the composer's rich rhythmic and harmonic language. It features pieces with immediate charm, where singing melodies mingle with popular accents and typically Brazilian rhythms, creating a classical repertoire that is both lively and nuanced.
The content offers a journey through Villa-Lobos's universe with emblematic pages and evocative miniatures, including: Tristorosa, A Baratinha de papel... "The Little Paper Cockroach...", O Gatinho de papelão... "The Little Cardboard Cat...", O Cachorrinho de borracha... "The Little Rubber Dog...", O Boizinho de chumbo... "The Little Lead Ox...", O Passarinho de pano... "The Little Cloth Bird...", Choros no 5 "Alma brasileira", Valsa da dor "Waltz of Sorrow", Machadinha "The Little Axe", Samba-lelê, Rosa amarela "The Yellow Rose", O Gato "The Cat", Nesta rua "In This Street", Fui no Itororó [1a versão] "I Went to Itororó [1st version]".
Additionally, the volume includes the Guitar Preludes no. 1, 2, 3, and 4, presented here in piano transcription by José Vieira Brandão. A valuable addition for exploring, at the keyboard, the writing originally conceived for guitar, while preserving the spirit and musical line of these preludes.
