Cristal: aspects of the pianistic treatment in Cesar Camargo Mariano's sambaStudy about the pianistic treatment by Brazilian composer and pianist Cesar Camargo Mariano in Cristal, recorded on the album Solo Brasileiro (1994). Pairing "Afro-Brazilian musical structures" (OLIVEIRA PINTO, 2001) with a textural approach of pianistic writing, we observe a synthesis and stylization in the musical formation of popular groups. The practice of the piano samba refers to the tradition of the so-called pianeiros, a tradition Cesar Camargo Mariano belongs to.
