Heitor Villa-Lobos's Étude No. 7, one of his Twelve Études for Guitar, was first published by Max Eschig, Paris, in 1953.
The first public performance of this étude (together with those of Études 1 and 8) was given by Andrés Segovia on 5 March 1947 at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts..
The piece is in E major and is marked Très animé.
Étude No. 7 is a study, first in rapid scales, then a section of arpeggios supporting a lyrical melody played entirely on the first string, and a return to the scales, creating a ternary (ABA) form.
