    This document discusses the rediscovery and completion of an early solo guitar work by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos titled Valsa Concerto No. 2, Op. 8 (1904). An autograph manuscript of the piece's opening 122 measures was recently donated to the Villa-Lobos Museum in Rio de Janeiro. The manuscript provides the first evidence of one of Villa-Lobos' earliest compositions, written when he was an established member of Rio's choro ensembles and familiar with both Brazilian and European classical guitar traditions. The rediscovery of the manuscript sheds new light on Villa-Lobos' early career and compositional influences.
