Duo Magyar is the union of two nations: Brazil and Hungary. It was created in the beginning of the year 2000. Brazil was then celebrating 500 years and Hungary 1000 years. This union has given enthusiasm and motivation to the promotion of national pieces that could favor the violin. This idea was very well welcomed by the Secretarias of Culture and Education of the Government of the Federal District. Duo Magyar was selected as one of thirty finalists among over a thousand groups from the whole country in the “ItaúCultural” project. Motivated by the success of this project, the Duo decided to dedicate their time to the research of scores and new pieces. These were written specially for their repertoire.
Even though there are many different pieces in this CD, all of them reflect the Brazilian fiddle sound. The piece “Sonatina”, from Paulinyi, shows a “bartokian” touch over the Brazilian folklore. The piece “Hipnose”, which is from the same composer, is about a deeper issue: what the music can produce in human beings. “Três Peças” from Sérgio Nogueira was written specially for the Duo. The same happened to the piece “Fantasia”, from Maravalhas. It has sweet elements of the guitar language.
Ernani Aguiar, well known for reinforcing irony in the music, also enhanced the Duo’s repertoire with 8 pieces (1984). The first ones were made after over a year of silence caused by an aesthetics crisis. Finally, there are the Mahle’s duets. These have been inspired in brief mode, in which some refer to regional nostalgia. His work “Invenção” is a thrilling fugue that plays around with the ambiguity of a binary-tertiary measure and with the contradiction of an atonal idea.
Music and image are artistic expressions that complete each other. Therefore, several paintings from Marlene Godoy, Eliete Oliveto and Lívia Paulini have been included here. Both music and illustration of this work search the essence of the Brazilian art. As Marlene has said: “art and freedom – nobody can truly express himself or herself without going to his or her origin first.”
Karla Oliveto started her music studies at the Music School of Brasília (EMB) in 1983. There she got the certificate of Expert in Instrument. She was then in Ms. Marena Salles’s class.
Karla finished her undergraduate Bachelor Course in Violin at the University of Brasília in 1997. She was then under the guidance of professor Ludmilla Vinecka. She also got her degree in Music Teaching in the year 2000.
