A joyous and uplifting movement both for the player and the listener. A tempo of 84 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute is suggested and used in the realisation. Whilst a performance should not be rushed it also mustn't drag. Listen to performances of this work by different instrument combinations to form a musical picture of how the work should be performed. I would suggest that this an example of a piano piece that actually sounds much better played by a combination of instruments. Look for any repeating patterns in the music as an understanding of the formal patterns will assist players in their performances. Acciaccaturas and in the melody line are notated in the score but are nor realised in the playback scores. Close

A tempo in the range of 84-90 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is recommended for this sunny ensemble piece. If an accordion is not available a keyboard or melody instrument can be substituted.The formal pattern used by the composer can be represented by the letters ABACA whilst the repeat signs have been retained in the realisation. Nazareth was an exceptionally gifted pianist and whilst the pianistic influence is understandably strong in his compositions his music which transfers well to other instruments particularly those of the plucked variety. The clarity of line in his musical textures is a strong feature of his compositional style. “Escovado†was composed in 1905 and dedicated to the composer's younger brother. The title is a common slang term which means smart or cunning and the composition became one of the composer's best known works. The accompanying guitar players may wish to refer to the TAB score which is also available. Close

Nazareth (1863 -1934) was a Brazilian composer and pianist whose music transcribes very well from the piano to popular contemporary instruments. His compositional style absorbs many different influences Brazilian, European, African and ragtime. He composed tangos, waltzes, polkas, sambas, galops, Scottisches and fox-trots and although classically trained was very familiar with the popular musical idioms of his day both at home and abroad. Brejeiro is described as a tango and the English translation of the Portugese word Brejeiro is impish meaning fun or mischevous. A tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. Some of the chord voicings in the guitar parts have been changed and there are some octave transpositions in the melody where the range of the solo instrument proves limiting. The TAB parts for the acoustic and bass guitar means that the score is quite cluttered so I would advise switching to the non TAB score when the music has been learnt. If an accordion is not available a keyboard instruments with an accordion/free reed sound can be used. Close

This very popular tango dates from 1903. The English translation of El Choclo is the The Ear of Corn. A tempo of 62-66 quarter note (crotchet) notes to the minute is recommended. The ornaments should possibly not be included in a performance until the piece is being played accurately and securely. Guitarists have the option of changing the chord positions on the fretboard to change the chord voicing and improve the ensemble. The double bass is to be played pizzicato throughout the arrangement and can be substituted by bass guitar or an acoustic bass guitar. An adapable piece this movement exists in arrangements for solo instruments , various duos, cafe style groups and orchestra. The sound of the accordion is usually represented by the bandoneon in Argentina which is a type of concertina. It is a title well worth exploing in search engines to both see and hear the results.
