Alberto Nepomuceno (1864-1920)
Alberto Nepomuceno was born in 1864 and
died in 1920. He was both a conductor and composer. His father played the
violin and was also the one to introduce him and taught him. At the age of 18
he was the conductor for the nearby club called Carlos Gomes. In 1916 he went
to Europe to conduct. He used his time there to introduce them to his works as
well as other Brazilian composers.
He was referred to as the “father” of
Brazilian music he based his music on native Brazil. In 1890 when he moved to
Berlin he actually studied with Heinrich von Herzogenberg.
