Ponce Manuel Maria. Trozos Romanticos para piano

Mexico: Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Escuela Nacional de Musica 2003. — 41 p.Manuel María Ponce (1882-1948) is considered one of the most important composers of Latin America. He brought innovations in harmony and form to Mexican music and was the first to collect and classify Mexican folk music. His musical production was driven from a very young age by the awareness of writing modern music. As a consequence, his style is an eclectic synthesis of many different sources: folk music, European music, Cuban music, impressionism, neoclassicism and many more. The two most important teachers he had were Martin Krause (a student of Franz Liszt) in Berlin, and Paul Dukas, with whom he studied composition in Paris in the 1920s.
