Pasteleira is the popular name of a Portuguese bicycle model. On this piece the horn player has the task to
perform a journey on two wheels, recreating some special effects of the locomotion, while playing a melody
that takes us to our memories. For a short moment we live again those bike rides from the past on a last
journey, in which this traditional vehicle disintegrates itself step by step, just like our memories fade away
with Saudade (longing).
