The Villa-Lobos Twitter Marathon
#HeitorADay is the hashtag for a new Villa-Lobos Twitter project of mine, based in part on the notoriously large output of the great Brazilian composer, but mainly because (most of) the music is so great. I'll be listening to a different Villa-Lobos piece every day, and tweeting about it. I'll keep track of all the tweets here. We'll see how long it takes to use up my pretty extensive Villa-Lobos music collection.
I'm in this for the long haul! Feel free to listen & tweet along.
