Template:Use Harvard referencing Heitor Villa-Lobos's Étude No. 10, part of his Twelve Études for Guitar, was first published by Max Eschig, Paris, in 1953.

History

The autograph manuscript of Etude No. 10 is dated 1929, Paris (Villa-Lobos, sua obra 1989).

Structure

The piece is in B minor and is marked Très animé – un peu animé – vif (Santos 1985, 26).

Analysis

Étude No. 10 is a study in technique that presents great challenges to the player. It is in ternary form (ABA), but the return of the opening material is transformed into dance-like rhythmic cells. An unusual technical feature is the use of the right-hand little finger (Santos 1985, 26, 28).
