Here are 12 rhythmically challenging yet wonderfully playable piano pieces…exciting, highly pianistic piano arrangements of the choro, a rhythmic musical form of the 19th century still played by instrumental ensembles throughout Brazil today. The style had its roots with Brazilian musicians who were of African descent or mix and were adapting the dance pieces of Europe into a purely Brazilian flavor, lacing them with African style rhythms and Spanish influences. The process was similar to what was happening in North America with ragtime being an outgrowth of marches, polkas and mazurkas, and the evolution into Jazz. The outcome of this Brazilian musical melting pot was the birth of several typically Brazilian styles including that which is considered the most noble of them all, the choro! ISBN 978-078666164-0
