Mozart Camargo Guarnieri was the most important Brazilian composer next to Villa-Lobos. Guarnieri's piano music embodies his most distinctive stylistic features. One of his most beloved works, the DanÃ§a Negra shares folk-music inspiration with the Suite Mirim. The Ponteios are characterized by an enormous variety of Brazilian music styles and moods, and the Sonata can be seen as a summary of Guarnieri's musical personality. Max Barros's "unfaltering brio and a complete command of the idiom" (Gramophone) can also be heard in Guarnieri's Piano Concertos.
