Atrevido , Brazilian tango published in 1913 Casa Arthur Napoleão (Sampaio, Araújo & Cia.), dedicated to his friend Dr. Jorge Fragoso. The son of the dedicator stated, in an interview with the biographer Luiz Antonio de Almeida:

"My father was graduating in medicine when he met Ernesto Nazareth. He was leaving college and going to play at Cinema Odeon, listening to Nazareth. From there, a friendship was born that would last a lifetime. After graduating, my father moved to São Paulo, even hosting the composer in our house.
On one of my father's trips to the Odeon, Nazareth introduced him to new music. And since he had, my father, some notion of music called Nazareth's attention to an "oversight". as to the number of bars contained in a certain part of that song, or something along those lines. He then looked at my father and said:

' - You're pretty cheeky, huh!...'

And what was my father's surprise when Nazareth appeared with the 'Tango' Atrevido , dedicated to him..."
