HENRIQUE OSWALD
(1852 - 1931) One of the greater names in Brazilian music of the nineteenth century, Henrique Oswald was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1852, the son of a Swiss father and Italian monther, both musicians. A year after his birth the family moved to São Paulo, where his father became involved in the music business, while his mother’s a reputation grew as a piano teacher. It was, in fact, with his monther that Oswald had his first piano lessons, before going on to study with Gabriel Giraudon.
