"I'mbrazilian" is a single-movement work that is approximately 12 minutes in length. The piece is scored for a chamber ensemble consisting of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano. The composition is characterized by its use of Brazilian rhythms and melodies, which are blended with contemporary classical techniques. The piece begins with a lively and rhythmic section that features syncopated rhythms and playful melodies. The music then transitions into a slower and more contemplative section, which features a haunting melody played by the violin. Throughout the piece, Ambrosini employs a variety of extended techniques, such as flutter-tonguing on the flute and clarinet, and pizzicato and harmonics on the strings. These techniques add to the unique and modern sound of the composition. "I'mbrazilian" is a vibrant and energetic work that showcases Ambrosini's skill in blending different musical styles and techniques. The piece has been well-received by audiences and critics alike, and has been performed by numerous ensembles around the world.
