Nazareth Floraux - Tango for string quartet (double bass ad lib.) score and parts
The oeuvre by the Brazilian composer and pianist Ernesto Nazareth (1863-1934) attracts more and more
aficionados in this country. After his training, he concentrated on light entertainment and played several years
in the orchestra of the Odeon cinema in Rio de Janeiro where Heitor Villa-Lobos too had played as a cellist.
For him, Nazareth wrote the same-titled tango, and the fellow composer praised him as `the true embodiment
of the Brazilian soul`. It was his 88 tangos that made Nazareth one of the most influential Brazilian composers
of the 20th century. The evocative piece Floraux is an impressive example of his tango art.
