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.

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.Three of these tangos have now been arranged for chamber music ensemble by Siegfried Schwab: Atrevido, Garoto and Carioca. With the slow Garoto being framed by the faster tangos Atrevido and Carioca, they are ideal for being performed as a cycle. The lively and characteristic tango rhythms are a valuable addition to any chamber music repertoire.
