Arthur Moreira Lima died on October 30, 2024, in Florianópolis. Born in Rio de Janeiro on July 16, 1940, he was a concert pianist and one of the leading names of his generation in Brazil.

Chopin was at the centre of his interpretation, but Brazilian music was equally present in his concerts and recordings, especially the work of Ernesto Nazareth.

The date marks the death of a pianist who put Chopin and Ernesto Nazareth side by side in the same concert repertoire.
