Playing The Most Unsettling Villa-Lobos Etude (ft. Gabriel Bianco) 

„when I was a kid I remember feeling strange playing this piece“ … 😮you were able to play this as a kid!

This Etude is not strange it is a masterpiece and hauntingly beautiful! Thank you Maestro Bianco and tonebase!

We're so lucky to have the hand written scores for these.. they're such complete works of art in themselves.. been looking at them alot for a few years and always some gracious new Easter egg written by the composer in 1928 about how to play this stuff seems to appear.. #5 definitely an elusive one.. nice video though for the left hand it makes more sense to me geographically to play the descending minor thirds at the end of the first page just on strings 4 and 5 with the bass on 6 until you get to the open d which some how helps to anticipate the balance of the pretty g6 chord in the 1st position.. phew...

Thats what I love about the HVL etudes, quite a few of them are quite strange in a good way

Amo o Villa! Obrigado pela aula. Nunca foi meu estudo preferido, talvez porque nunca fui um estudante aplicado. Porém com certeza amo o violão e o Villa!

Merci !

i love that piece the same way I love the Prokofiev andante from Sonata no. 2. they are just mesmerizing

Yeah the "strange" spin doesn't really sit with me. It's a very interesting and beautiful work.

love # 5 etude of cool

There is nothing strange there. Just listen.

Acho que não concordo muito com algumas opiniões expressas neste vídeo. É impossível, na minha opinião, falar seriamente sobre o Estudo Nº5 de Villa-Lobos sem citar o caráter modal desse estudo ... essa "estranheza" a qual ele se refere vem do fato de ser uma escrita modal (mas em mais de um modo ao mesmo tempo) ... existe tambem a conexão com a escrita de Bartok (o polimodalismo), os aspectos musicológicos que ligam a música de Villa-Lobos ao folclore brasileiro, etc ... todos esses elementos deveriam vir antes de qualquer análise de movimento dos dedos. Pelo menos é assim que eu penso. Com todo respeito, apesar do professor Gabriel Bianco ser um grande violonista, achei o vídeo muito superficial ... principalmente se comparado com outros vídeos do Tonebase. De qualquer forma fico muito feliz de ver um vídeo sobre um dos Estudos do nosso grande Villa-Lobos sendo abordado por um grande violonista. Obrigado por compartilhar. Google tr: I don't think I agree with some of the opinions expressed in this video. In my opinion, it is impossible to talk seriously about Villa-Lobos' Etude No. 5 without mentioning the modal nature of this study... this "strangeness" he refers to comes from the fact that it is a modal writing (but in more than one mode at the same time)... there is also the connection with Bartok's writing (polymodalism), the musicological aspects that link Villa-Lobos' music to Brazilian folklore, etc... all of these elements should come before any analysis of finger movement. At least that's what I think. With all due respect, although Professor Gabriel Bianco is a great guitarist, I found the video very superficial... especially when compared to other Tonebase videos. In any case, I am very happy to see a video about one of the Etudes of our great Villa-Lobos being addressed by a great guitarist. Thank you for sharing.

Can you access all instruments on Tonebase on one singular subscription, or do you need one each for each instrument?

What scale is that guitar?
