“I felt silly, because I wanted to imitate Beethoven. For eight years I travelled to the most remote regions of the country… they thought I was dead and even held a mass for my soul!” Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959)
Browse our sheet music and scores for the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, and let Stretta guide you through all his wonderful music today, which Villa-Lobos himself described as “natural, like a waterfall”.
Villa-Lobos was very interested in music ethnology, and was deeply inspired by the music of the Amazon, especially after his trip to the heart of Amazonia in 1912, which is reflected in his symphonic poem Igor Stravinsky, Erik Satie and Darius Milhaud.
Although he is known in Brazil, and especially in the guitar world, for the extensive Guitar Works by Villa-Lobos, why not take a look at Piano Pieces by Villa-Lobos and his wonderfully varied instrumental music.
