Presents for the first time the complete surviving correspondence
of the outstanding Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos
[1887-1959], one of the most colourful figures in twentieth-century
music. This complete edition of the letters of the Brazilian
composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, collected for the first time in any
language, details his stay in the Paris of the 1920s, his work in
Brazil and the 1930s and `40s and his international travels as
conductor of his own music. The letters also discuss commissions
for ballets, concertos and other works. Lisa M. Peppercorn, who
knew Villa-Lobos, is the acknowledged expert on the life and music
of this colourful figure, and she gives a detailed commentary on
the events giving rise to the letters. A chronology gives a
detailed account of Villa-Lobos' life, which is thoroughly
illustrated with photographs of the persons and places associated
with Villa-Lobos, facsimiles of works and concert programmes, and
so on. The letters thus form a guide to the most productive years
of his life.
