Abstract

Discussion about the interpretations of musicologist Mario de Andrade’s writings which considered the music of Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth as directly influenced by Chopin, departing from the historical recordings featuring Nazareth playing his own music. It also includes some considerations about the use of tempo rubato by piano players in order to characterize this influence.
