Villa-Lobos’s aunt was an acknowledged interpreter of Bach’s 48 Preludes and Fugues, so it is not surprising that Bach was an equally strong influence on the composer. ![]() The five Preludes were each written in homage: Prelude No 1 ( Homenagem ao sertanejo brasileiro) in homage to the Brazilian country dweller Prelude No 2 ( Homenagem ao Malandro Carioca) in homage to the rascal of Rio, the Malandro Carioca Prelude No 3 ( Homenagem a Bach) in homage to Bach Prelude No 4 ( Homenagem ao Indio Brasileiro) in homage to the Brazilian Indios and Prelude No 5 ( Homenagem ao Vida Social) in homage to social life: ‘to the fresh-faced young boys and girls who go to concerts and the theatre in Rio’. Villa-Lobos was fascinated by the music, myths, and rites of the Brazilian Indios, and his compositions reflect his deep study of this music.
