Biographical data about his work in Belo Horizonte, and later in the city of Rio de Janeiro as an employee of Radio Nacional, as well as his return to the capital of Minas Gerais were collected and organized through researches at the National Library, interviews with family members and alumni, as well as the search of data in platforms on the history of Brazil. In all, 157 small pieces were recovered, which were mostly applied in the intense work developed by Nelson Piló as a guitar teacher.
