Abstract

We aim to share processes and results of the work, which involved commented edition, publication, and phonographic recording of novel pieces for solo and four-hand piano by 15 renowned contemporary Brazilian composers. These were destined to be confrontation pieces to be interpreted in the Piano Contests “Prof. Abrão Calil Neto”, in the city of Ituiutaba in the state of Minas Gerais, performed from 2004 to 2019 in the mentioned town.  This material was prepared for publication in four books (two for solo and two for four-hand piano), also recording a CD with some selected pieces of each author, and carried out some lecture recitals, with the objective of recording and spreading the contemporary Brazilian piano music. It is hoped that this article encourages that similar actions are realized.
