| description | This paper aims to recover the trajectory of a little-known character in the history of the guitar in Brazil: Melchior Cortez (1882-1947), Portuguese settled in Rio de Janeiro from the age of nine. To this end, this work raises unpublished biographical data, traces a possible profile of the musician and investigates his prolific activity as a concert performer, with which he reached the stage of the “Instituto Nacional de Música” and shared recitals with the great guitarists of his time, including presentations with Quincas Laranjeiras. The methodology consisted of a critical analysis of more than 50 sources discovered in newspapers and magazines of that period. The results point to Cortez's significant participation as a classical guitarist in the Carioca musical scene of the first three decades of the 20th century. |
