Étude No. 11 (Villa-Lobos)

Heitor Villa-Lobos's Étude No. 11, one of his Twelve Études for Guitar, was first published by Max Eschig, Paris, in 1953.

## Structure

[edit]

The piece is in E minor and is marked Lent – Animé – Poco meno – Animé – Lent.[1]

## Analysis

[edit]

Étude No. 11 is a study in arpeggios and chords, involving difficult left-hand stretches and an unusual emphasis on the use of the right-hand thumb. Like the preceding and following studies (and unlike the earlier ones), it is in ternary (ABA) form, with bell-like effects marking the middle section.[2]
