History
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 (Villa-Lobos, sua obra 2009, 152).
Structure
The piece is in E major and is marked Très animé (Santos 1985, 27).
Analysis
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 (Santos 1985, 27–28).
