Brazilian composers in the 19th century often sought state scholarships to enable them to study in Europe where they were to become influenced by the German, Italian and French compositional schools. They also became involved in the vogue for writing suites based on ancient dances, such as Nepomuceno's delightful Ancient Suite, premiered at Grieg's home, or Braga's Madrigal-Pavana which evokes the belle époque ballrooms of Rio de Janeiro. Miguéz's Suite in the Old Style is polyphonic and lively, while Gomes' Sonata for Strings is his finest non-operatic work.
