Composer Context:
Ernesto Nazareth (1863–1934) was a pivotal figure in Brazilian music, blending European classical forms (like the waltz and polka) with Afro-Brazilian rhythms, creating the foundation for choro and influencing samba.
Musical Analysis
1. Form & Structure
Ternary (ABA) form, typical of waltzes:
A section: Lyrical, flowing melody in a major key.
B section: Contrasting middle, possibly minor-key or modulatory.
Return to A: Often with subtle variations or ornamentation.
2. Rhythm & Dance Influence
3/4 time signature, but with a Brazilian lilt (unlike strict Viennese waltzes).
Light syncopation or accented offbeats, hinting at maxixe or choro rhythms.
3. Melody & Harmony
Singing, nostalgic melody—reminiscent of modinhas (Brazilian art songs).
Romantic-era harmonies (chromatic passing tones, secondary dominants).
Possible modal shifts (e.g., major to parallel minor) for emotional contrast.
4. Piano Writing
Delicate, salon-style with arpeggiated bass lines.
Ornamented repeats, showcasing Nazareth’s virtuosic yet expressive touch.
