The melody is accompanied by arpeggiated chords that create a sense of harmony and depth.

The second movement of Modinha Brasileira is marked by a faster tempo and a more upbeat rhythm. It is characterized by a lively melody that is played in the higher register of the guitar. The melody is accompanied by a syncopated rhythm that creates a sense of energy and movement.
