Best Answer

My personal favorite is Garoto (Anibal Augusto Sardinha) although most would probably answer Heitor Villa-Lobos, whose guitar music is absolutely standard in the literature, and most top players and students as well, play at least SOME of Villa-Lobos' guitar works.

However, I chose Garoto based on the inner energy and beauty of his music, which I find much more appealing than the music of HVL, and in addition, seems to me to be more idiomatic, or representative, of many of the greats - Jobim, Baden Powel. etc. Garoto influenced them all, and yet, received far less recognition (at least internationally) than Villa-Lobos, perhaps because of Andres Segovia who brought Villa-Lobos' guitar music to the concert stage. Garoto is to Brazilian Guitar as Chopin is to the Romantic Piano. Positively gorgeous, unmistakable, and the model that everybody copies from.
