the "manner of the Chôros", characteristic of Villa-Lobos's compositions of the 1920s, and the "manner of the Bachianas" developed in the 1930s. Shared traits include an abundance of short sections with an introductory or transitional function the use of double sections, where the theme is repeated with an augmented orchestration the use of contrasting materials as a marker between sections or between different motives of the same section large sections with various small motivic sections in sequence functioning as a tonal transition The chief difference between them is that the thematic materials of Chôros No. 9 are relatively short, and tend to be simply repeated, while at the same time there is a complex interrelationship amongst these motives, recalling the Chôros actually composed in the 1920s. This limits the sense of tonal-thematic stability, resulting in a more rhapsodic and less balanced effect than is found in Chôros No. 6. Discography Villa-Lobos: Chôros Nos. 8 and 9.
