http://lutherenloe.com At the end of the Christopher Parkening master class held in Bozeman, Montana participants vote for performers to represent the class in a public recital. Here is a clip from my performance in the 1998 master class recital. Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) was the prolific composer of around 2000 works. His compositions for guitar are considered an important addition to the guitar's repertoire. Etude No.8 is from his Twelve Studies written for the guitar in 1929 and published in 1952. The melody of Etude No. 8 first appears in the bass, evoking the cello, and then appears in the upper register with arpeggio accompaniment. I hope you enjoy the music.
