Guarnieri Camargo. Sonatina para piano, no. 7

Sao Paulo: Ricordi Brasileira 1991. — 18 p.Mozart Camargo Guarnieri (February 1, 1907 – January 13, 1993) was a Brazilian composer.
Guarnieri was born in Tietê, São Paulo. He studied piano, composition, and conducting in São Paulo and Paris. His compositions received significant recognition in the United States during the 1940s, leading to conducting opportunities in major American cities.
A key figure in the Brazilian national school, Guarnieri served as a conductor, a member of the Academia Brasileira de Música, and Director of the São Paulo Conservatório. His extensive oeuvre includes symphonies, concertos, operas, chamber music, piano pieces, and songs.
Regarded by some as the most important Brazilian composer after Heitor Villa-Lobos, Guarnieri was awarded the Gabriela Mistral Prize shortly before his death.
Com humor: the title – with humor, already sets the mood for this movement written with persistent quartal chords in a different use of sections instead of the typical sonata-form. Although centered on A, this movement uses free atonality and bitonality.
Muito calmo: this ethereal movement expects the performers to play – very calm. There is a tendency to use more tonal ambiguity with no centered pitch in a through composed form.
Com alegria: With joy, suggests a tonal center on C although freely using the 12 tones of the chromatic scale without a pre-established sequence. Written in a toccata-like form, it uses a perpetual motion of constant octaves.
