If it's from 1932 it would be blocked, if it were allowed to be uploaded in the first place.

the recording is from 1932., i think the piece was written earlier...

There is nothing on WorldCat, so no libraries contributing to WorldCat have this sheet music. It possibly was never published.

I'm actually not sure how comprehensive a listing WorldCat really is. Just today I checked out a score of Villa-Lobos's String Quartet No.17 from Princeton University Library (Eschig, 1977, plate M.E. 7982), and there is absolutely no indication that the score even exists if you look at WorldCat.

Perhaps Princeton isn't on worldcat?
At any rate, the libraries submit their holdings, so it's their fault at some point...

Sure there is. Remember lots of Villa-Lobos was published by Eschig and the titles were done so in French. Often WorldCat records don't contain translations, so if you search for "dix-septième quatuor" you'll find loads of listings. Still, of all those records I didn't see one held by Princeton (library code PUL).

This is why librarians preach about the use of uniform titles, which serve to collocate the various manifestations and editions of a given work. In this case, the u.t. is "quartets, strings, no. 17". This title will always be present in a library cataloged bibliographic record, regardless the language of publication. Knowing this, we can search worldcat for Villa Lobos as an author, and quartets strings 17 as a title, limit to scores, and viola: 3 bibliographic records, 2 for the score and 1 for the parts (all published by Eschig). A little knowledge goes a long way. Introduce yourself to the nice music librarians at Princeton and I'm sure they'll be happy to show you how their library catalog works.
