Since long ago I have been taking photos of empty chairs and tables, empty public benches and spaces. A rather sad and persistent theme, quite similar to the gloomy,ostinato theme in this piano music.

Confidencias, exchange of confidences or in this case the absence of them.I let this video go in the same way people burn incense to chase doleful spirits away and to invoke a god of oblivion. A farewell to all the lost chances, to the meetings that never occured, to the communion that failed, to the impossilbility of sharing.

I met Ernesto Nazareth´s (1863-1934) music a few years ago.( funny! the word ´´few`` never grows with time, it always means ´´a few``).His piano music seems a cross over Frederic Chopin and european rythms which were in fashion during the brazilian beginning of the 20th century. It never pretended to be something bigger than it is. This is an issue of our era!

Nazareth is a magician of rythms and knows how to set a balanced melody. His music is friendly to the audience and served to sell musical scores at stores or accompany silent films.

But yet, rarely the ´´air du temps`` is so masterly rendered. Rythms dress the garments of tangos, habaneras, waltzes, and polkas to invite the imagination into nostalgic dances in the urban, immigrant landscape of Rio de Janeiro.

In the backround of the music, esta tristezza tao querida no meu Brasil amado.

Ernesto Nazareth spent his last years in an asylum and only left it to drown in a water reservoir.

Iara Behs is a pianist from Porto Alegre, BR, with a solid technique and musicality. And I am not her friend nor her PR manager!!!

Iara Behs, piano, 2003

Enjoy
