Theme and variation on the Brazilian samba
Restricting the theme to its rhythmic element and subordinating all other elements, the piano is cast in the role of both percussion ensemble and dancers.
“Scarlet was the dominant color effect in Bond’s Batucada, with its sassy dance rhythms and dynamic contrasts.” Register-Guard
