Portrait of Guiomar Novaes.

During her studies in Paris, Guiomar Novaes (pianist) was invited to play to a compatriot: Princess Isabel, who was in exile in Versalles. It was the Princess who stimulated Guiomar to include in her repertoire "Grande Fantasia Triunfal sobre o Hino Nacional Brasileiro," by Louis Moreau Gottschalk. In this way, since the beginning of her presentation, her audience could know her nationality and mostly she would contribute for the recognition of Brazil in the world.
