Choro
is a Brazilian musical form that is typically presented as
a theme and variations in rondo form, performed in 2/4 time.
It keeps coming back into style among virtuoso musicians because
it is not only beautiful music, but also because it provides
a challenge and allows musicians to demonstrate their technical
virtuosity as well as their overall musicality.
Read about two great discs of interpretations
of choro music from the Adventure Music label:
mandolinist Mike Marshall's
Brazil Duets and the Modern Traditions Ensemble's New Old
Music.
