Alma Apaixonada / SouIin Love(196grecording)

This piece, though written in 3/4, is not exactrya wartz.Dilermando
praysit as a
sentimentarsong.There are many gracenotes anticipating the bass
line. Someare
stylistic and somewereprobablyusedto facilitatethe-performance.

Desengano/ Disenchantment (1966recording)

This is a greatchoro with a strongmelody.Notethat somegapsin the
main merodyare
filled in with another one which createsa kind of questionand answer
effect.
Eterna Saudade/ EtemalLonging(1963recording)
This is one of Reis'typicarwaltzes.written in a minor ket it mustbe prayed
srowlyand
with a melancholic feeling.Thereis a nice contrastingeffectin trr. iirri

Feitigo / Sorcery(1968 recording)

My favoriteof Dilermando'schorosisIeifrEo.Muchof its charmisdueto

The rhythm changes suddenly in bars 30 and 31 (second section), which may cause
reading problems. These two bars should be played as if they were written thii way:

Fim de Festa / End of the Party (1964 recording)

Sandrinha / Little Sandra(1970 recording)
Reiscomposed many sentimental waltzes in E minor. These two share this character-
istic and, besidesthe romantic feeling, have a similar structure.

Gente Boa / GoodPeople(1975 recording)

This choro is quite effectivedespitenot havinga strongbassline, sotypical ofthe choro.
It must be played with plenty of swing. pay attention to the pizzicatos (they are very
important) and, once more, to anticipated bassnotes.

Rosasde Outono / Autumn Roses(1969 recording)

Although played slowly, it differs from the other waltzes in this volume in that it is not
sad and has not repeated melodic phrasesin either section. There are some similarities
between this piece and Dois Destinos,which is in Volume 1 of this series.

Sobradinho / (1969 recording)

This is the only maxixe in this collection. The first section recallsthe well-known sons
de Carrilhdes(Soundof Bells),byJolo Pernambuco and must be plaved with the same
feeling. The title may refer to a Brazilian city.

VA se tu Agrada / SeeIf YouLike It (1948 and 1971 recorrlings)

Both versions of this choro were recorded with z guitars. In this arrangement for solo
guitar, I have tried to maintain some of the original feeling. I consider this to be the most
difficult piece in the collection.

I wouldlike to thankmy friendsDailorpereira,EdmarFenicio,Hahocunha,lodoBarbosa,

Richardudler,Ronoelsimdes,Rubinho,and william Kobatawhohelpedmein variousways.
specialthanks to Erasto Reis(Dilermando'snephew)and the entire Reis
family flom
Guaratinguetd (SdoPaulo).

Thisvolume,onceagain,isdedicated
toMr Ronoelsimdes,whoseworkfor thepdsts0 yeafi,
hasbeenfundamentalin thepreseruation
of theguitarhistory.

DilermandoReis,probablythemostfamousBrazilianpopularguitarist,wasbornin Slo
paulostatebut lived most of his life in RiodeJaneiro,whereheworkedactivelyin radio
and recordings. From 1941to 1975he recordedabout20 - 78 rpm and 23 - LPs.

He playedall kinds of music and recordedthe compositionsof Bach,Barrios,Tarrega,

Gnattali, and Pixinguinha among many others. However,his preferencewas the
traditional Brazilian guitar style: doleful waltzesand chorosfull of modulations to
"confuse"accompanists,playedwith his unique styleand sound.

He wasa greatcomposeralso.He recordedabout 100of his own compositions,many

of which becamereal standardsof Brazilianpopularguitar-like DoisDestinosand se
EIaPerguntar.

In 1975he recordedthe LP TheBrazilianGuitarof DilermandoReis,containing his last

compositions:chorosand waltzes,of course.

IVAN PASCHOITO

Vinicius de Moraes, and others. His first arrangementswere published in 1984'
