12 Études for guitar (Étude No. 1 in E minor)

Available for over a year

Villa-Lobos’ studies stem from his childhood in Brazil. Written in Paris, and similar to Chopin’s etudes for piano, the guitar etudes expanded the player’s technique. The first etude alludes to Bach and explores the player’s arpeggio technique in their right hand.
