The
compositions by the
greatest Brazilian tango
composer and pianist
Ernesto Julio de Nazareth
(1863 -1934) are strongly
influenced by Brazilian
folk music. He preferred
light entertainment, and
his dance music has
remained extremely
popular in his home
country until today.
Heitor Villa-Lobos called
him 'the true embodiment
of the Brazilian soul'.
Nazareth composed
primarily choros music
which is very common in
Brazil, but it was his 25
tangos (25 Tangos
Brasileiros for piano,
Schott ED 7561) that made
him famous.The melancholy
waltz Confidencias in A
minor (already published
for piano in Valsas
brasileiros, Schott ED
20304) bridges the gap
between Latin American
folkore and Romantic
elements, as can be found
in the waltzes by Chopin.
The work's specific
expressive chromaticism
in melody and harmony
stands out particularly
in the arrangement for
chamber music
ensemble.
