This urtext edition of Alexandre Levy's "Tango Brasileiro" [Brazilian Tango] is a meticulous tribute to one of Brazil's most emblematic piano compositions. Originating in the early days of Brazilian musical nationalism, this piece was first published in 1890 on the front page of the Diário Popular newspaper, reflecting a unique history in musical publication.

Our edition honors the original publication while providing comprehensive critical notes. We have consulted multiple sources, including the original Diário Popular edition and the subsequent Casa Levy editions, ensuring authenticity and adherence to Levy's intent. Notably, this edition eschews posthumous editorial additions, focusing instead on preserving the original musical text as written by Levy.

Key features of our edition include:

- Bilingual prefaces in Portuguese and English, offering rich historical and cultural context.
- Preservation of original fingerings, likely authored by Levy himself.
- Restoration of the original dedication "Ao Diário Popular".
- Linguistic corrections for consistency and clarity
- Exclusion of post-1937 editorial additions like articulation signs, dynamic markings, and alternative execution suggestions which were not part of the original edition.

This edition is a tribute to Levy's work, showcasing its significance in the evolution of Brazilian music and its influence on later nationalistic composers. It's an essential piece for pianists and enthusiasts of Brazilian piano literature, providing a genuine experience of Levy's iconic "Tango Brasileiro.".
