Abstract
This document studies the Brazilian musical and cultural elements of rhythm, dance genres, and the Portuguese language used by Camargo Guarnieri in his song cycle Treze Cancoes de Amor. The purpose of this project is to inform the reader of performance practices related to Brazilian traditions specific to these songs, and to point out challenges in performance, especially for non-native Brazilian pianists. The research was based on findings of Camargo Guarnieri, such as books, dissertations, and recorded interviews and score study of the song cycle's manuscript. In addition, an Interview was conducted with Maria José Carrasqueira, Brazilian pianist and former student of Guarnieri, and several discussions with non-Brazilian pianists and singers.
