DESCRIPTION: This piece is part of the standard repertoire of classical guitar, composed by the great Heitor Villa Lobos in 1940. The piece is subtitled "Homenagem a Bach" (Homage to Bach). It's very guitaristic, with it's initial phrases that are almost like open string guitar tuning. The connection to Johann Sebastian Bach is in the second main section, with its patterns of descending melodic sequences.
