Elucidate, no, speculate, yes. As far as I know, the best published listing of the works of Villa Lobos was done by David Appleby. David taught, as I recall, at Texas Christian University. He donated his scores to our University. His bio bibliography was published by Greewood Press. I believe some places use his numbering but use the prefix A.1 A.2 etc. The Greenwood usually use W.1, W.2 etc. for all of their publications. David also did a biography of VLobos which was published by Scarecrow press. If I find out more, I will pass it along. Karl
