Product Description

Nazareths work was ahead of its time, merging classical structure with Brazilian popular idioms. "Dora" is a prime example of how he redefined the waltz in a Brazilian context. Unlike the Viennese or Parisian waltzes, which were often grand and dance-focused, the Brazilian waltz was more intimate and poetic, meant for salons and serenades rather than large ballrooms.

His music also set the stage for later bossa nova and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), influencing composers like Tom Jobim and Heitor Villa-Lobos. The harmonic sophistication of "Dora" hints at the harmonic progressions found in later Brazilian jazz.
