About Annibal Napoleão

Lived 1846 – 1880 (aged 33–34). Annibal Napoleão was a composer and pianist.

Annibal Napoleão dos Santos (3 January — 1880) was a Portuguese pianist and composer. He was the second of three Napoleão pianist and composer 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. First studied music with his father, then with Sproule in Ireland.
