Piano Solos<\/h3>

In\u00a0Piano Solos<\/em>, Fabio Caramuru delves into different moments of his career. He contemplates pieces of his own composition, created between the years 2011 and 2021, and creates new interpretations from them.<\/p>\n

The experience in both classical and popular music of this pianist and composer from S\u00e3o Paulo often flows under the spell of nature, as evidenced by\u00a0The Wings Suite, Op. 16<\/em>. Within it, the movement\u00a0Tangar\u00e1<\/em>\u00a0evokes the song of the bird to which its title refers and also finds inspiration in Claude Debussy’s (1862-1918)\u00a0Danseuses de Delphes<\/em>. On the other hand,\u00a0Sabi\u00e1, Saudade do Brasil<\/em>, another segment of the suite, brings a melody in sixths that recalls the roots of Southeastern Brazilian music, and it also turns its attention to the sabi\u00e1 and – in dialogue with Gon\u00e7alves Dias (1823-1864), Tom Jobim (1927-1994), and Chico Buarque (1944) – to its presence in national art.<\/p>\n

A piece with ironic verve,\u00a0Em Tr\u00eas, Op. 7<\/em>, reexamines the waltz. It subverts some of its usual conventions, aiming to gently push the listener away from a comfort zone within the traditional dance. In\u00a0Variations on a High School Hymn<\/em>, Caramuru takes a school anthem as the theme. In this composition, he constructs four brief variations. The fifth and final variation expands and stretches the original melody. These two pieces, in particular, illustrate, but do not exhaust, the imaginative palette of the album, which is filled with sonic, conceptual, and inspirational contrasts.<\/p>\n
