Composed by Brazilian pianist Ernesto Nazareth (1863–1934), "Coração que sente" (Heart That Feels) is a slow Boston-style waltz reflecting Nazareth's signature blend of Choro, Tangos Brasileiros, and European salon music. Its lyrical melody evokes deep sensitivity, mirroring early 20th-century Rio de Janeiro's cultural fusion. Nazareth, often called "the father of Brazilian tango," infused classical structures with Afro-Brazilian rhythms, making this piece a bridge between classical formalism and popular dance.
