By Pedro Sperandio. Composed by Alexandre Levy. Arranged by Luiz C. Teixeira. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, 21st Century, Chamber, Classical, Latin. Score. 5 pages. Luiz C Teixeira #1204186. Published by Luiz C Teixeira (A0.1636326).
Let’s dive into an analysis of "Cœur blessé," Op. 13, No. 1, composed by Alexandre Levy — a beautiful and poignant piece from the late 19th century Brazilian repertoire.
Context and Style Alexandre Levy (1864–1892) was one of the earliest Brazilian composers to blend European Romanticism (especially the French style) with Brazilian musical elements. "Cœur blessé" (French for "Wounded Heart") is part of a group of pieces where Levy explores deep, emotional lyricism typical of salon music — very expressive, intimate works often performed in small gatherings. Written around 1887, this piece mirrors the Romantic aesthetic: intense personal feeling, melancholy, longing, and gentle lyricism.
Musical Analysis Form and Structure:
Likely ternary form (ABA'), typical for romances and character pieces of the era. Opening and closing sections feature similar melodic material with an expressive, weeping quality, while the middle section (B) introduces contrast, possibly a darker or more agitated mood. Melody:
The melody is lyrical, flowing, and tender, filled with sighing motifs (descending phrases that feel like sighs or sobs — very appropriate for a “wounded heart” theme). Chromaticism is delicately used to enhance a sense of sadness and emotional instability. Harmony:
Rich Romantic harmonies, with warm modulations and unexpected chord changes that deepen the emotional texture. Occasional dissonances and suspensions intensify the feeling of pain or yearning without becoming overwhelming. Rhythm:
The rhythm is flexible and expressive, likely with many rubato moments (slight speeding up or slowing down), letting the performer shape phrases with emotional freedom. Slow to moderate tempo, probably Andante or Adagio, inviting contemplation. Texture:
Homophonic texture (clear melody over harmonic accompaniment). Gentle arpeggios or broken chords in the left hand create a soft, undulating background, much like the accompaniment in many French mélodies (art songs) of the same era.
