Octavio Pinto (Composer)
Born: 3rd November 1890, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Died: 31st October 1950, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Nationality: Brazilian
Octávio Pinto was a Brazilian composer and architect. He was married to Guiomar Novaes, a major figure among twentieth-century Brazilian pianists.
Pinto was not a professional musician, but rather an architect who carried out business across Brazil. In his youth, however, he took lessons with the famous Hungarian-French pianist Isidor Philipp, who taught Guiomar Novaes while she studied at the Paris Conservatoire, and wrote several pieces for solo piano until his death in 1950. His best-known and most-performed music comes from his Scenas Infantis (Childhood Scenes), a suite composed in 1932 for his wife, who performed the suite and brought attention to her husband's work.
