Étude No. 9 (Villa-Lobos)

Heitor Villa-Lobos's Étude No. 9, part of his Twelve Études for Guitar, was first published by Max Eschig, Paris, in 1953.

Structure

The piece is in F-sharp minor and is marked Très peu animé, and evokes the nostalgic countryside atmosphere associated with the cavaquinho.^[1]

Analysis

Étude No. 9 is a study in arpeggios and slurred notes, developing musical ideas by Carcassi and Carulli. There is an emphasis on thirds, as in the Fifth Étude.^[1]
