Considered, even during his lifetime, the greatest composer of the Americas, Heitor Villa-Lobos composed around 1,000 works. His importance lies, among other aspects, in having reformulated the Brazilian concept of musical nationalism, becoming its greatest exponent. Through him, Brazilian music gained representation abroad, ultimately becoming universal.
