Description: Ernesto Nazareth’s Escorregando (“slipping” or “sliding”) is a vibrant example of the Brazilian tango style that distinguished his music from its Argentine counterpart. Blending European Romantic lyricism—reflecting Nazareth’s admiration for Chopin—with Afro-Brazilian rhythmic vitality, the work captures the composer’s unique role as a bridge between popular and classical traditions. The title’s playful character is mirrored in the recurring sliding-note gestures that animate both principal themes. Daniel Paget’s arrangement brings these elements vividly to life, offering performers a stylish showcase of agility, articulation, and expressive nuance.
