Not unlike how a jazz musician might "jazz up" aspiritual or blues, Villa-Lobos here applies Brazilian brush strokes Brush Strokes was an Esmonde and Larbey sitcom set in South London and depicting the (mostly) amorous adventures of a good-looking, wisecracking house painter, Jacko (Karl Howman). inthe form of the indigenous street and salon music Salon music was a popular music genre in Europe during the 19th century. It was usually written for solo piano in the romantic style, and often performed by the composer at events known as "Salons". of the choro toEuropean dance forms, creating what was among his most lyrical music forthe guitar--sentimental, yes, though hardly indulgent. Yet the workunderwent something of a transformation between 1928, when he firstconsidered compiling these pre-written pieces into a suite, and theversion he put together for Eschig in 1948. Hence this new criticaledition by French guitarist Frederic Zigante, who consulted a number ofprimary and secondary sources, notably Villa-Lobos's 1928 autographmanuscript and the manuscript copy prepared for Eschig in 1948. Zigante makes some minor changes and fingering suggestions from theedition guitarists have relied on all these years, including the use ofdifferent-sized notes to indicate a contrastive emphasis between melodyand harmony (a device Villa-Lobos also used in his piano pieceRudepoema). But the real enjoyment (and revelation) is to be found inthe appendix, where Zigante unveils in print for the first time a"Valse-Choro" that was not only the originally-intended waltzof the 1928 version of the suite (at the time a four-movement constructsans the "Gavotta-Choro") but a piece entirely different fromthe "Valsa-Choro" which made its way into the final edition. Does this mean guitarists should start performing the rejectedmovement instead? Of course not. But the piece has its own charms (and afew tricky "guitar-isms"), which should make it a popularstand-alone work in recitals. Then again, don't be surprised ifothers choose to perform the 1928 version of the suite as a programmingalternative now that all the missing pieces have beenassembled.--Reviewed by William Lee William Lee may refer to: William Lee (Australian judge) William Lee (inventor) (c.1550–c.1610), inventor of the stocking frame William Lee (judge) (1688–1754), British judge William Lee (diplomat) (1756–1795), American diplomat Ellis, Memphis, Tennessee For the ancient Egyptian capital, see .Memphis is a city in the southwest corner of Tennessee, and the county seat of Shelby County.
