Title: Etude No.

1 (Etudes des arpeges), dedicated to Andres Segovia

Author: Heitor Villa-Lobos (Paris, 1929)

Tablature by: Thomas Hernandez Schmidt <tomhschm@rocketmail.com>

Date: Apr-22-2002

I've used the TAB of Alberto Carrillo Albaladejo <acar@iname.com>, dated

May-31-1998, as a template and corrected some minor bugs. The corrections
are based on a 1953 score titled "Douze Etudes pour Guitare".

Please send any comments to <tomhschm@rocketmail.com>

*******************************************************************************
"The original manuscripts were changed a fair bit when edited by Segovia for
the Max Eschig editions, which are the ones that most tabs and various sheets
are derived from. The main things left out were the tempo and dynamic
directions... There are also many more repeat signs in the edited compared with
the original, for example etudes 1 and 2 have no repeats in them whatsoever in
the original, but every bar is repeated in the Segovia/Eschig edition."
- John McDonnell (18 May 2009)
