140 guitar works by Leo Brouwer (b.1939) appear in the Guitar Events repertoire database, all from the contemporary repertoire. The catalogue files this music under Avant-garde and Aleatoric. Typical performance times run from under a minute for Estudio Sencillo No. 1 to about 29 minutes for Concierto No. 11 "de Réquiem". Brouwer is named in the stated requirements of one competition listed on this site. For programme planning: 17 works are long enough to anchor a recital group, and 31 pieces under three minutes suit encores. Among them are 53 studies and 12 sonatas.

Each work below links to a recording and, where available, a free score — hear a piece before committing it to your programme, then match it against competition requirements in the finder.
