Product Description

"Desengonçado" is a Tango Brasileiro composed by Ernesto Nazareth, a master of blending European classical music with Brazilian popular rhythms. This piece, like many of his tangos brasileiros, embodies the elegance of European salon music while incorporating the syncopations and lively spirit of Brazilian music.

Musical Characteristics of "Desengonçado"
Playful and Rhythmic Energy The title "Desengonçado" roughly translates to "awkward" or "clumsy," but the music itself is anything but. Instead, it has a lighthearted, dance-like feel, with intricate syncopations that give it a sense of unpredictability and charm.

Syncopation and Brazilian Swing The piece features cross-rhythms and syncopations, characteristic of maxixe and choro, making it more rhythmically complex than traditional European tangos.

Melodic Sophistication Like much of Nazareths work, the melody is graceful yet unpredictable, with moments of chromaticism and expressive phrasing that make it engaging for both performers and listeners.

Contrasting Sections The structure of the piece moves between lyrical, flowing passages and more rhythmically intricate sections, showcasing Nazareths ability to balance elegance with Brazilian spontaneity.
