Alfredo Napoleão dos Santos (1852 — 1917)[1] was the youngest of three Napoleão siblings, the others being Arthur Napoleão (1843–1925), and Aníbal Napoleão (1845–1880).

In 1879 he was again in Rio and for some years toured the northern parts of Brazil. At that time he was at the height of his fame.[1] Returning to Portugal in 1882, he gave concerts in Lisbon and Porto, then London and Paris. In 1889 he went to Brazil again and made a tour through the entire continent. In 1891 he returned to Porto.[1] Alfredo Napoleão was a great interpreter of Bach, Beethoven and Schumann.[1] CompositionsAlfredo Napoleão's compositions include four piano concertos, a Polonaise for piano and orchestra, an Ouverture symphonique for large orchestra, chamber music, piano sonatas and many piano pieces.[1] List of works (selective)
