Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Author of Brazil’s Anthem for the Proclamation of Republic in 1890, Leopoldo Miguéz  had a modest career as a composer, conductor, and director of the first major conservatory of music in Rio de Janeiro in the latter half of the 19th century. His Nocturno of 1883 is his most successful work for piano, with traces of late 19th century harmonic language and influences from Wagner, Richard Strauss, and Liszt.       Victor Cayres
