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.^{[ citation needed]}

Compositions

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

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]
