Recuerdos

Levy wrote two Polkas entitled Recuerdos and Paulina. In the manuscript, which can be found in the Levy Collection (https://acervolevy.com/), the title is Recuerdos?... Polka de Salon. In the score edited by Levy Filhos (São Paulo, n.d.) it says: “Composée a Buenos Aires. 1882”. The dedication is “à ma tante Clotilde Levy (de Buenos Ayres)”. This work was also published by Irmãos Vitale (1963) and Sesc (n.d.). Although part of the literature that deals with Levy's work markedly value its ties to urban popular music, leading to an understanding of the composer as a "pre-nationalist", the Recuerdos and Paulina polkas, which use popular elements in vogue at the time, are never mentioned as an example of this trend. This work approaches what, in a relatively broad way, is usually called salon music. It is the only piano piece by Levy with a Spanish title.
