As a Brazilian myself, I'm honored. Thank you.

The year of 1887 wasn't near the end of the "Colonial period", which ended in 1822, when Brazil became independent from Portugal. It was toward the end of the "Imperialism period" which ended in 1889, when Brazil became a republic.

As far as I know, Heitor was one of the few composers to regularly feature the F#7b11sus4 chord in his compositions. This chord was later popularised by Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson...

You should make a video about Camargo Guarnieri. He was sadly forgotten in spite of being alongside with Villa-Lobos one of the greatest Brazilian composers of all time.

Dude gotta tell you something important . From the point of view of a classical guitarists: Villa - Lobos guitar concerto is of his highly respected and reviewed works and has been played by the masters of the instrument either; Andres Segovia (which he wrote the pice for him) and Julian Bream played and recorded the concerto in different performances and still is in the repertoire of many contemporary guitarists. I just named the few. It'd better be more reaching for the next time. By the way, thanks for the video.

Very interesting. You should consider doing a presentation on composers who were inspired by non-European music

I was really waiting for this video, thanks!! As a Brazilian I am really proud that we had this awesome composer in our country

Your setup is coming along VERY nicely!

Really well done! Thanks so much for this!

Great video. Shouts out from brasil!

Hey great new setting! Looks much more comfortable! Interesting vid, I must have watched the Satie one at least 5 times! I play and am quite partial to the French Guys! and you're cuter than ever! :-) Much Peace always fantastic vids! 🎼🎵🎹😁

Great video!!! Keep it up 👍🏼

Great video! Thanks!

I saw Mr Marcelo Bratke playing Villa-Lobos piano pieces on a Phoenix piano at Opus, Hastings. Mr Bratke referred to the composer's design of a piece around the shape of constellations in the sky. With the explanation of Villa-Lobos' composing method with guitar, I visualize this served composing constellations into piano chords.

Great video!

You know more about Brazilian history than most brazilian history teachers, really. Just the fact that you said the obvious about Vargas' regime is beyond most of the teachers I had.

I'm a huge fan of Villa-Lobos' music and I say kudos to you for the video, you described Villa-Lobos and his music very well and I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation, I do disagree with you regarding the guitar concerto which I find is quite a fine piece of music but hey at this point we are just talking about personal preferences, thank you for posting

Love your channel ! A video idea : comparing the styles of famous composers who composed mainly via guitar (not keyboard). I remember Berlioz did - learned that from your vid

As fascinating as that topic would be, I'm far from the person to be able to adequately answer that; a similarly academically-minded friend of mine, a brilliant guitarist, believed that such a study would be a good, weighty doctoral dissertation!

As a guitarist myself, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on what you said about the guitar concerto. It is one of the first pieces I heard from Villa-Lobos and it is still one of my favorites to listen to and even to play, though it is in fact quite challenging.

To non-brazilians understand Villa-Lobos, they have to hear before, brazilian popular music, specially 'CHORO', a very instrumental, virtuosistic and very beautiful music, sometimes nostalgic, sometimes more complex. Most part of non-brazilians dont know the traditions of brazilian popular and folk music, thats very rich, with african and european influences centuries before villa, Villa-lobos made his music with this popular music being transformed by a european classical language , contemporary music from beginning of xx century, the richness of his music is because his talent and because the richness of brazilian CHORO and regional (countryside) music and brazilian folklore

14:04 but the brazilians classical guitarists usually like this piece. I love the guitar concerto.

I'm working on his Choros No1 ATM and digging into the history of HVL and Choros music, so thank you for this very informative video. However, I must offer a correction: when you move a chord shape on the guitar up even one fret, you get a totally different chord. Thanks again, and I'll be checking out your other videos:)

@petersilktube

Ай бұрын

I think the implication in the video is that when you move a shape up and fretboard and play just the notes in that shape, then the chord quality stays the same. So for example if you make a first position E major shape and play just strings 3 4 and 5 and then move the shape up and down you're just going to make a series of major chords. Villa-Lobos uses this kind of thing quite a lot. But it's also true that if there are any open strings then as you move the hand up and down the fretboard you're also changing the quality of the chord, and Villa-Lobos clearly also enjoyed the interesting harmonies that could be produced just from moving a shape around but including open strings. The contrast with piano is that if you were making a major shape and wanted to move that up and down the keyboard in strict parallel movement, you'd have to keep changing the shape to take into account the sharps and flats, so harmony that uses a lot of strict parallel movement comes less naturally to a pianist than to a guitarist. I think was the point that the video was trying to make, and I think it holds true when you consider how Villa-Lobos uses parallel movement - I recommend checking out the 5 preludes for some really good examples of how this is used in his music, especially the 1st and 4th.
