Context within Levy's Work
Levy, a Brazilian composer, pianist, and conductor, was known for integrating Brazilian musical elements into classical forms. While “Amour passé” leans more towards European Romantic traditions, it still showcases Levy's melodic inventiveness and sensitivity. This piece, along with the other two in the Trois Morceaux set—“Cœur blessé” and “Doute”—demonstrates his versatility and command of expressive piano writing.Wikipedia+1YouTube+1Wikipedia+3IMSLP+3Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre+3
