Étude No. 5 (Villa-Lobos)

Heitor Villa-Lobos's Étude No. 5, part of his Twelve Études for Guitar, was first published by Max Eschig, Paris, in 1953.

History[]

The autograph manuscript of Etude No. 5, held by the Yale University Library, is dated 1929, France, and is dedicated to Andrés Segovia.^[1]

Structure[]

The piece is in C major and is marked Andantino.^[2]

Analysis[]

Étude No. 5 is a contrapuntal study. The deliberately monotonous accompaniment in broken thirds contrasts with the melody, played on the treble strings.^[2]
