Biography edit
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.[citation needed]
Compositions edit
Among Cimirro's works is a Piano Sonata (his Op. 3) which takes two hours to be played in six movements,[3][failed verification] 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.[3][failed verification]
Because of his transcriptions and paraphrases Cimirro was called[by whom?] "The Reincarnation of Liszt"[2]
In 2018, sheet music publisher Master Music Publications released a selection of Cimirro's works.[4]
Performance edit
In 2008, Cimirro was the first foreigner to win the “V Konkurs na Projekt Nagraniowy Zapomniana Muzyka Polska”,[citation needed] an award issued by Polish record label Acte Préalable for the most interesting recording project devoted to "forgotten Polish music."[5] Acte Préalable released Cimirro's proposal, a recording of the complete piano works of Karol Tausig, on CD.[6]
In May 2010 Cimirro received in Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil) the trophy “Bravo – Álvaro Godoy”.[citation needed]
Cimirro was the first international pianist to play on the biggest piano in the world, a 5.7-metre long piano made by the 23-year-old New Zealander Adrian Mann, performing two concerts in a shed on Timaru's countryside (New Zealand).[7]
