Annibal Napoleão dos Santos[1] (3 January[2] 1845[2] or 1846[3] — 1880)[2] was a Portuguese pianist and composer. He was the second of three Napoleão siblings, the elder being Arthur Napoleão (1843–1925), the younger Alfredo Napoleão (1852–1917). Annibal is the least important among them, partly because of his weak health and partly of his premature death.[2]
Biography
He was born in Porto, Portugal[2][3] to Alexandre Napoleão (a musician himself) and Joaquina Maria dos Santos.[4] First studied music with his father, then with Sproule in Ireland.[3] He became a professor in Lisbon.[3] In 1869 moved to Brasil, toured the country and gave musical lessons in Rio de Janeiro. But the Brazilian climate did not fit him well, and he came back to Portugal, where he died in Lisbon in 1880.[2][3]
Compositions
Annibal's compositions were published by his brother Arthur in Rio de Janeiro.[3][5]
