Lange arrived on the continent after the First World War and soon became a Uruguayan citizen, changing his name to “Francisco Curt Lange”, the name by which he would become widely known. In the Americas, he became an expert in the musicology of Spanish-speaking countries such as Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, and was responsible for starting the Musical Americanism movement. He also worked to establish a solid musical education in Uruguay, and in Argentina he was responsible for creating the musicology department at the University of Cuyo, and he also taught at several North American universities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLange was also an essential collaborator at the Ibero-American Institute, a research center for Latin American culture located in Berlin, a role that greatly satisfied him. As we can see in the letter he dedicated to Alden Dittmann in 1979, declaring his impression of his work. A Chilean of German father, Dittmann devoted himself to organizing exhibitions and conferences at the institute, in addition to having founded its music library, compiling works from all over the continent. It is therefore not surprising that Lange admired his contribution to the development of the Ibero-American Institute, and wanted to resume his work with the center.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut the German-Uruguayan musicologist also landed on Brazilian soil, and it was here in the welcoming state of Minas Gerais that he left his greatest mark, carrying out unprecedented work in locating musical scores and manuscripts produced by generations of musicians since the 18th century. It is important to remember that the gold rush that occurred at that time in Minas Gerais fostered the artistic development of the region, but until then, much had been lost over time due to the lack of records and compilations, hence the importance of Lange's contribution.

One of those few people born every few generations capable of mastering distinct forms of expression with excellence, Vinicius made his name in the history of Brazilian art, and marked Brazil's name in the history of world art. The great composer was, for example, responsible for writing the lyrics to “Garota de Ipanema” (Girl from Ipanema), the most internationally renowned Brazilian song.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut after all, who was Vinicius de Moraes (1913 - 1980)? Born in Rio de Janeiro, as a child, the little artist already showed signs of what his profession would be, staging plays at the school where he studied. Even so, young Vinicius studied Law and graduated as a jurist, a title that allowed his entry into the world of Diplomacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, it was in literature that he found his true passion. Vinicius de Moraes spoke of love and sensuality in his works, dedicated to the various women with whom he had relationships throughout his life, and his songs and sonnets about his passions are now part of the Brazilian imagination. After all, who hasn't memorized at least one poem by Vinicius in school?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven so, we know that a significant part of the poet's life was dedicated to representing Brazil in several countries. What few know is that the figure of Vinicius de Moraes as a diplomat also came from feminine hands; it was his first wife, Tati de Moraes, who encouraged him to take the entrance exam for the diplomatic career at Itamaraty, which he passed in 1943, taking on the position of Brazilian vice-consul in the United States, in Los Angeles, in 1946.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlimpses into the artist's private life at this moment are revealed in this letter he wrote in the same year. In his words, Vinicius tells about the path he took to reach his first diplomatic post in California. Curiously, in the letter, Vinicius also talks about Tati; he wants to bring her to Los Angeles with the children as soon as possible, because, according to him, he had done some foolish things that estranged the couple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVinicius was known throughout his life for his numerous romantic adventures; it is interesting, however, to see that these episodes impacted his daily life, after all, the poet did not live by words alone. Coincidence or not, it was for his first wife, Tati Martins, that Vinicius de Moraes wrote, also in 1946, the famous \"Sonnet of Fidelity,\" clamoring for a love \"infinite while it lasts.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVinicius de Moraes was a man of letters, revealing, through them, his feelings and his loves, with the skill of a true poet's pen. But even though we know his sayings so well, it is a delight to access his private sphere, those words written without the technical rigor of rhyme that uncover a common man, who traveled, saw cities, fell ill, healed, moved, lived. Finally, the lives of masters are not limited to their work, and in the triviality of daily life, we see that we share something with them, our existence, and the need to live it in all its fleetingness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis letter is an intimate, unique, and unpublished testimony about the youth of the famous Brazilian poet and musician, when he was a diplomat in the United States. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36001311228063,"sku":"243LEI35","price":0.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/products\/cartaassinadademoraes1.jpg?v=1682365407"},{"product_id":"carta-assinada-por-bidu-sayao","title":"Letter signed by Bidu Sayão (1932)","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"I ask the management of Scala to confirm the program and the rehearsal day so that I can arrive in Milan on time.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLetter signed by Bidu Sayão to Jenner Mataloni - Superintendent of La Scala Theatre from 1932 to 1943 - who left a handwritten comment at the bottom.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e One page.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e In Italian.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 21.6 cm x 28.9 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e October 17, 1932, in Rome.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Perfect condition\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e of conservation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Unique piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cu\u003ePortuguese translation, part typed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e \u003ci\u003eRome, October 17, 1932\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003ci\u003eHonorary Director of Teatro La Scala Milan\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e \n\u003ci\u003eTo participate in the concert “Pro Opere Assistenziali” (Concert for Fascist Aid Works) at the Teatro La Scala at the invitation of the Federal Secretary Consul Brusa, whom I accepted, and having agreed on the program, namely: “l'aria della pazzia della Lucia” (mad scene in “Lucia di Lammermoor”), the Barber duo with Galeffi and the Rigoletto quartet with the other performers, I ask this management to confirm the program and the day of rehearsals in order to arrive in Milan on time.

However, it is not only in the visual arts or sports that the natives of this land of Brazil have gained international recognition; Brazilian music has also conquered the United States and Europe with its voices and rhythm. One of the singers who built this legacy is Bidu Sayão (1902 - 1999), a famous lyrical interpreter who shone in the most famous theaters in the world during the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBorn in Itaguaí, a city in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, in 1902, Balduína de Oliveira Sayão, our beloved Bidu, began studying singing at a young age with a Romanian teacher who was living in Brazil at the time. Seeing the talent of the young woman from Rio de Janeiro, the teacher took her to Romania, where Bidu continued her studies. The change of continent opened up new opportunities for the singer, who in the late 1920s began performing in theaters in France and Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In 1932, Bidu received the great honor of being invited to sing at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, as we can see in the letter she wrote to the director of this legendary venue. Opened in 1778, the Teatro alla Scala is one of the most famous opera houses in the world. The fact that she was invited to perform there must have been a great joy for the singer, but how must the girl from the countryside of Rio de Janeiro have felt upon receiving such an invitation? Excited? Ecstatic?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhatever her feelings, the words in her letter were restrained and professional, Bidu treated the honor naturally, asking simply about the program and rehearsal dates.

Although this idea may seem almost absurd to us, inhabitants of the 21st century, it is important to remember that, in the early 1930s, both fascism and Nazism were not yet understood as totalitarian and warlike regimes, but rather as nationalist movements that defended the people, and this was precisely the mask that enabled their growth. What did Bidu think about the subject? Not all of these questions have such clear answers, but knowing the world written through the words of Bidu Sayão, as in her letters, certainly brings us closer to this renowned singer.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis letter is one of the most interesting and important autograph documents we have discovered about Bidu Sayão.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37266257543327,"sku":"362LIM2","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/products\/carta-manuscrita-bidu-sayao.jpg?v=1682366180"},{"product_id":"carta-manuscrita-de-carlos-gomes","title":"Handwritten letter from Carlos Gomes (1885)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eThis item is no longer available.

The genius with an unstable temperament conquered Europe without neglecting the themes of his nation, dealing with indigenism to the abolition of slavery in his works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in 1836 into a humble family in the city of Campinas, São Paulo state, music entered Gomes' life early. While still young, he lost his mother, and soon began working with his brothers in the Campinas Musical Band, his father's creation to support the family. But what was a means of survival would become the first step for young Carlos' entry into the world of music, and in a short time he was performing at dances, concerts, and masses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt wasn't long before his fame reached Rio de Janeiro, where the musician had the opportunity to perform for the royal family, an event that would transform his life. In 1863, Carlos Gomes left for Europe to study at the Milan Conservatory with recommendations from the Empress, Dona Tereza Cristina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so, the Brazilian composer conquered the world, becoming known for his great works, but also for his irritable temperament, as can be seen in the letter he wrote to Vincenzo Appiani, a famous Italian pianist and composer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe intriguing letter raises numerous questions. Who, for example, was Carlo Fummagalli, the rival of whom Gomes speaks with such fury?

Could the piano keys found on the floor have been broken by himself? Imagining him on a cold winter night composing operas and breaking instruments is a treat for the imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter was not the São Paulo composer's favorite season; he longed so much for the sun that he wished to fetch it in Pernambuco and bring it bottled to the Old Continent. But the desire to travel to his country was not solely to seek tropical warmth. Gomes wanted to present his new opera \"O Escravo\" in Brazil before showing it in Italy, due to its intrinsic connection to Brazilian history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarlos Gomes' famous work premiered amidst controversies, such as the fact that \"the slave\" protagonist changed from a black man to an indigenous one so as not to shock the 19th-century audience. Finally, this great work was presented in Brazil in 1889, months before the proclamation of the republic, crowning the winds of change blowing through the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer, artist, Brazilian, Carlos Gomes synthesized many of the issues bubbling through Brazil in the effervescent era in which he lived.

A great example of this is Mistinguett, the famous French artist who transformed the 20th century with her short skirts, dances, and cigarettes, leaving a musical legacy that should be celebrated. In previous weeks, we featured Bidu Sayão and Carlos Gomes; now we bring the vitality of Mistinguett. In difficult times, good music!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeanne Bourgeois, artistically known as Mistinguett, was born in 1875, and in her youth already showed the traits of the determined woman who would transform the world. The young performer began her artistic career working as a flower seller in a restaurant, where she sang popular chansons for her customers. Determined, realizing she needed to improve her skills, she had her parents pay for dance and singing lessons. And finally, at 20, in 1895, she made her debut at the Casino de Paris. Also performing in shows at the Moulin Rouge, Folies Bergère, and Eldorado, she quickly achieved success, becoming the most popular and richest vedette of her time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMistinguett's career took off at the beginning of the 20th century, and she even participated as an actress in the first French silent films. The muse conquered Paris and soon became known not only in France but in other countries around the world, including Brazil. The famous vedette had a romance with a Brazilian diplomat with whom she had a son, born in 1901, and \u003ca title=\"dedicatoria de mistinguett para o copacabana palace 1923\" href=\"https:\/\/glorias.com.br\/products\/dedicatoria-de-mistinguett-para-o-copacabana-palace-1923?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=mistinguett\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003ein 1923 she even visited Brazil, where she sang at the inauguration of the famous Copacabana Palace\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it was a few years before her trip to Brazil that one of the most curious facts of Mistinguett's career happened. Loved by the public and considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, in 1919, at 44 years old, she took out an insurance policy to cover her legs, so important were these instruments to her career. The insurance was worth 500,000 francs, a millionaire sum for the time. Her youthful appearance, enchanting smile, and famous legs, as can be seen in the photo she signed that same year, undeniable show the impact Mistinguett had around her. What do you think she was thinking at the moment she was photographed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMistinguett impacted the world with the sensuality of her dance, but also with her boldness; long before Coco Chanel, she wore her hair short and smoked in public, unthinkable attitudes for a woman at the beginning of the 20th century. Her strength paved the way for many other women, and this path continues to be paved even today.

Tango is the main symbol of this feeling. It's impossible to listen to a tango without feeling some longing. For what? Everyone will say. What is not a subjective interpretation is the name of the main exponent of this musical genre: Carlos Gardel, an elegant and vain man, who remained in the popular imagination with his suit and hat, as shown in the rare autographed photograph we recently found. However, the origin of this great star is uncertain, and, despite the most accepted version now being that he was born in France, the singer's past is full of mysteries and adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAlthough Buenos Aires was Gardel's home, there are three main hypotheses for his birth, all of which were at some point told by the singer himself. In 1904, after running away from home at the age of 14, he was detained by a police officer to whom he claimed he had been born in France, in Toulouse, in 1890. In 1915, another version emerged, in which Gardel supposedly came into the world in the city of La Plata, south of the Argentine capital. Years later, in 1923, Gardel had his passport drawn up, declaring himself born in Uruguay, in 1887. In each of these instances, the King of Tango registered with slightly different spellings: Gardes, Gardez, and finally, Gardel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBut why would the singer have given such different information about his identity? It seems that Gardel wanted to distance himself from some unorthodox deeds committed in his past. A famous Argentine newspaper gained access to the singer's criminal record, and some revelations came to light that might explain his reasons. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt seems that, before international fame, Gardel had a past as a swindler. A police document from 1915 presents him as \"el pibe Carlitos,\" the boy Carlitos, who participated in the so-called \"uncle's fraud,\" a scam that consisted of approaching a stranger in a bar, claiming to have a rich uncle who left an inheritance but in a distant city. Soon, the man was asked for money to go to the location to rescue the treasure, with the promise of a large compensation. Needless to say, the said nephew escaped with the money without ever sending news again, right? But would Gardel really have participated in this type of scheme?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt is impossible to ascertain the origins or past of Carlos Gardel before his fame, but it is a fact that his voice marked human history, becoming part of UNESCO's Memory of the World program. Gardel made 957 recordings, covering 792 different themes. In addition to music, he was also a film star, recording in both France and the United States. Today, Gardel is a symbol, more than Argentine, Latin American. Unfortunately, the singer died young, before the age of fifty, in a plane crash in Colombia. Still, he goes down in history not as a swindler, but as the man who set the vibration of a continent to music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"JUSTIFY\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Gardel's autographs on photographs, in excellent condition, are rare.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41930231349407,"sku":"375","price":0.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/products\/fotografiaoriginalautografadacarlosgardel1.jpg?v=1682366057"},{"product_id":"autografo-de-elis-regina","title":"Autograph by Elis Regina (1968)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis item is no longer available.
