Product Description

This urtext edition of Un jour de Printemps (A Day in Spring) by Manoel Joaquim de Macedo (18451925) unveils a long-lost gem of Brazilian Romantic piano literature. A prominent composer and violinist, Macedo contributed significantly to Brazils musical sceneboth for violin and pianoyet much of his large body of work remains unexplored. Un jour de Printemps, Op.159, comes to us from a rare Teodoro Goetze publication (circa 1908), dedicated to capturing the delicate lyricism and poetic expressiveness of a text excerpt by Victor Hugo.

Carefully derived from a scarce surviving print, this edition adheres to strict urtext principles restoring Macedos authentic musical intent. Complete with bilingual (Portuguese and English) prefatory notes, it provides valuable historical context and illuminates Macedos compositional style, bridging late-Romantic sensibilities with an emerging national consciousness in Brazilian music.

Key features of this edition include:

- Faithful reconstruction from an extremely rare original publication once thought lost.
- Detailed editorial commentary highlighting necessary corrections based on Macedos original score.
- Bilingual preface offering insight into the composers biography, the pieces connection to Victor Hugos poetry, and Macedos pivotal role in Brazilian music history.

Un jour de Printemps is essential for pianists and scholars interested in discovering the breadth of Brazils Romantic-era repertoire. Its graceful melodies and refined textures bring to life a poetic springtime soundscape, solidifying Macedos legacy as an accomplished composer worthy of renewed attention.
