Prelude 1 by H. Villa-Lobos: Classical Guitar Lesson

Prelude 1 by H. Villa-Lobos: Classical Guitar Lesson

posted on March 5, 2017

Prelude Number 1 by Heitor Villa Lobos is one of the great works composed for classical guitar. From its full sounding resonance to the cello-like melody, this piece has been a favorite of students and concert performers alike.

 

This video covers several of the main concepts in the piece, but it is just one part of a seven part course available to members of Classical Guitar Corner. If you would like to access the full course, and hundreds of other lessons, you can start your membership here.

    Simon, is the sheet music for Villa Lobos Prelude 1 on the website, or something we need to order? Which website is best for ordering guitar sheet music?

    I am enjoying my CGC lessons immensely!! Put together so well, so I’m enjoying this musical journey.

      John,
      This info is from an earlier post regarding the music score

      Hi Jaime,

      Anything after 1923 is under copyright protection so we can’t reproduce the score of the Villa-Lobos piece (it was written around 1940). The score has been published in a nice edition of Villa-Lobos’s solo guitar music in a book edited by Frédéric Zigante, which is easily accessible, for instance here: https://www.amazon.com/PRELUDES-CINQ-SOLO-GUITAR-REVISED/dp/1458423735/ref=pd_bxgy_267_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=20S3AJYC6087PBRDM8FY

      Peace,

      Dave B (CGC team)
