"It gives me particular pleasure and even a remote sense of undeserved pride to introduce this catalogue of Marlos Nobre´s works. It is because three of Marlos Nobre´s works won prizes at the IMC/UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers with which I was so closely associated that I allow myself such indulgence. May I say however that any pride would be far greater if I had a work of violin of Marlos Nobre which were my own! May this catalogue, and through it his music reach the wide audience and the critical acclaim it merit."
