Product Description

This Urtext edition of Alexandre Levy's "Samba," the captivating fourth movement from his Brazilian Suite (1890), is the quintessential embodiment of early Brazilian musical nationalism. This edition brings to light Levy's masterful integration of traditional Brazilian melodies, including the iconic "Balaio, meu bem, balaio," and lesser-known gems like the Afro-Brazilian song "Xô Araúna," within a sophisticated structure. Our meticulously engraved score honors Levy's original composition and enhances accessibility with modern notational clarity. This is a rare and brilliant piano solo transcription by Alexandre Levy's brother, Luiz Levy.

Key features include:

- A comprehensive critical commentary by Alexandre Dias, shedding light on the Samba's historical significance and Levy's pioneering role in Brazilian music.
- A detailed exploration of the Samba's thematic elements, revealing Levy's intricate use of Brazilian folk and Afro-Brazilian melodies.
- High-quality musical engraving that provides a meticulously crafted and clear presentation of the score.
- Enriched editorial notes, providing a reliable and authoritative foundation for performers. 

Perfect for pianists seeking to delve into the roots of Brazilian music, this edition showcases Alexandre Levy's genius while serving as a bridge between classical music traditions and the vibrant sounds of Brazil.
