Sonia Rubinsky – Bachianas Brasileiras nº4 : IV. Dança (Miudinho) by Heitor Villa-Lobos
Villa-Lobos – (Born in Rio de Janeiro on March 5, 1887 – November 17, 1959)
Villa-Lobos was a Brazilian composer, conductor, cellist, pianist, and guitarist described as “the single most significant creative figure in 20th-century Brazilian art music”. A prolific composer, he wrote numerous orchestral, chamber, instrumental and vocal works, totaling over 2000 works by his death in 1959 and its importance lies, among other things, in having reformulated the Brazilian concept of musical nationalism and becoming his greatest enthusiast. It was also through Villa-Lobos that Brazilian music came to be represented in other countries and became universal. His music was influenced by both Brazilian folk music and by stylistic elements from the European classical tradition, as exemplified by his Bachianas Brasileiras (Brazilian Bachian-pieces).
