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.","brand":"Toccata Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54217541419352,"sku":"9780907689294","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780907689294.jpg?v=1769831111","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/villa-lobos-letters","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
