Product Description

Valsa (da revista Amapá) is a Brazilian waltz composed by Chiquinha Gonzaga for the theatrical revue Amapá, a four-act, 19-scene production by Moreira de Vasconcelos. Premiered at Teatro Santana in November 1896, the piece was likely published the following year by Buschmann e Guimarães. Dedicated to Gonzagas daughters-in-law, Ritoca and Candinha, this waltz exemplifies her innovative fusion of European musical forms with Brazilian rhythms, contributing significantly to the evolution of Brazilian popular music. chiquinhagonzaga.com


Musical Structure and Style
While specific analyses of this piece are limited, Gonzagas waltzes are known for their lyrical melodies and expressive phrasing. Her compositions often blend the structured elegance of European dance forms with the syncopated rhythms characteristic of Brazilian music, creating pieces that are both technically engaging and emotionally resonant.
