This is a nice site in English hosted by Indiana University
\n<\/a>It is still quite new, but there are interesting sections, such as one on lost scores<\/a>, probably quite a common occurrence with Villa Lobos.
\nThe Guitar\u00a0Prelude #6, A Prole do Bebe suite #3, and the two Choros are possibly amongst the scores Villa-Lobos left with his Parisian concierge when he left for Brazil in 1930.\u00a0 Anna Stella Schic tells the story on pp. 94-95 of\u00a0Villa-Lobos,<\/i>\u00a0Souvenirs de l’indien blanc<\/i>\u00a0(Paris: Actes Sud, 1987.)\u00a0 Schic doesn’t seem too worried about the lost works, though.<\/p>\n

“Mais la prolixit\u00e9 de Villa-Lobos \u00e9tait telle que ce v\u00e9ritable torrent de musique n’a jamais sembl\u00e9 s’en affecter outre mesure : il \u00e9crivait d\u00e9j\u00e0 les oeuvres suivantes…”<\/i><\/p>\n

There is also a comprehensive database of works<\/a>\u00a0and links to the Villa Lobos Magazine<\/a>\u00a0and the Villa Lobos Museum<\/a>, whose site seems to be down, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

\nHere’s an interview with Andy Summers of the Police<\/a> at the Villa Lobos Museum.<\/p>\n

And here are rather famous clips of Villa Lobos playing his Prelude no.1 and Choro no.1
