Artur Cimirro (born September 30, 1982) is a Brazilian pianist, composer and art critic.[1]

Biography

Born in Bagé, Brazil, Artur Cimirro started his musical studies in 1995 with the acoustic guitar and in 2001 focused on the piano.[2]

As a composer, Cimirro is strongly influenced by the composer/pianists of different languages such as Franz Liszt, Leopold Godowsky, Ferruccio Busoni, and Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji.[3]

Compositions

Among Cimirro's works is a Piano Sonata (his Op. 3) which takes two hours to be played in six movements,[4] as well as symphonic works including two Symphonic Poems (No. 1 "The Masque of the Red Death" based on Edgar Allan Poe's tale with the same name, and No. 2 "Curupira").

Cimirro wrote his second set of Eccentric Preludes Op. 13 for Stuart & Sons 102-key pianos and he was the first composer to make piano pieces using the range limits of 108 keys from contra C to the top b in his Eccentric Preludes Op. 20.[4]

Cimirro was described by the director of the French Les Amis Des Cabardièses music festival as "The Reincarnation of Liszt".[2]

In 2018, sheet music publisher Master Music Publications released a selection of Cimirro's works.[5]

Performance

In 2008, Cimirro was the first foreigner to win the “V Konkurs na Projekt Nagraniowy Zapomniana Muzyka Polska”,[6] an award issued by Polish record label Acte Préalable for the most interesting recording project devoted to "forgotten Polish music."[7] Acte Préalable released Cimirro's proposal, a recording of the complete piano works of Karol Tausig, on CD.[8]

In May 2010 Cimirro received in Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil) the trophy “Bravo – Álvaro Godoy”.[6]
