I wrote the Negro Dance III in August 2003. In 2005, I added an introduction that I called Lamento (Elegy). It was performed in several recitals of Brazilian chamber music that year, in duo with the cellist Rodrigo Alquati.

In 2018, I wrote this piano 4 hands version for the XVII Cora Pavan Capparelli Piano Competition, held in Uberlândia / MG/Brazil.
