Anthology of Popular Brazilian Music of the 19th Century

"The main goal of this anthology for solo guitar is to put several styles together--the lundu, the polca, the maxixe, the valsinha, the quadrilha, the choro, the xtis, and the samba--to display the Brazilian musical scenery (especially from the city of Rio de Janeiro) of the last half of the 19th century and first years of the 20th century. The five composers chosen for inclusion are among the most important of that period: Francesco Manuel de Silva, Chiquinha Gonzaga, Joaquim Callado, Patpio Silva, and Anacleto de Medeiros. All twelve of the selections appear here in notation and tablature."Almada, Carlos is the author of 'Anthology of Popular Brazilian Music of the 19th Century' with ISBN 9780786653331 and ISBN 0786653337.
