I will thank you very much any information about were can I find
brazilian old composers piano sheet music. I would like to play something
more beside Vilalobos. I hope you can help me. Thanks.

You've probably found it already, but if that's not the case, why not have a glimpse at this: https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Brazilian_people
Of course, not all of those composers wrote for the piano solo, or only for it, but there's some
really good stuff in there. For starters, you could try Oscar Lorenzo Fernández and Ernesto Nazareth.
Chiquinha Gonzaga is also listed there, but there was only one piece by her, last time I checked, so if you're interested in her work (and she's got plenty of great pieces), then you should really check this out: https://www.chiquinhagonzaga.com/acervo/
Happy trouvailles! ;)

I'm glad to hear it. :) My pleasure!
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention this in the last post: I know you said any Brazilian composers other than Villalobos, but just in case you don't have it yet, you might be interested in the amazing piano solo transcription of his "Chôro No.1" that you can find here: https://www.moliantegok.qc.ca/index.php
Just click where it says "Partitions", then on the letter "V", then, of course, on "Villalobos" and voilà, Bob's your uncle, like they say! 8)
Best regards,

If you are in search of repertoire, have a listen to "Brasiliana", CD issued by BIS with Arnaldo Cohen at the piano (you can find it in Spotify, or in BIS site), from XVIII century to present day.
A good deal of them are on IMSLP, other (like Santoro) are not in PD but available for purchase at decent prices.
