Ponce's works I've been always researching through the internet for a digital pdf from his works however I'm looking for an specific one that I couldn't be able to find through internet, perhaps theres no digitized source from the set I'm looking for...
the set I am looking for is cuatro evocaciones by Manuel M. Ponce

I find it quite interesting due of the huge influence on Debussy's cakewalk on No.4, I will really appreciate if someone has the chance to provide a pdf scan from the set itself, that will also help me soooo much!!!
Abner - a warm welcome to Pianophilia.

There was a new publication of this work in 2006, and I do hold a copy. Please contact me at: malcolm.ballan@gmail.com to discuss further.

Greetings again
I've recently heard about another mexican composer whose name is Arnulfo Miramontes which nowadays it is getting into oblivion sadly...
After discovering this composer I've been digging up into his works nowadays but I realized that each score is quite difficult to find through Internet or online which it is quite a pity honestly, these pieces might remain as a rarity as it seems so.

However I would like to know if anyone has a certain piece that actually I really enjoyed from him and is the Estudio en Forma de Vals Op.111, I just found a single page on an UNAM article but I would like to have the complete piece for personal researching

If anyone has an edition from this piece I would really appreciate your help but if anyone has a source where I could find several scores from Miramontes online It will help me a lot!

Have you tried the Mexican National library, or reaching out to the pianist who recorded this work? WorldCat has leads: https://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-no2006042778/

The University Of The Arts (Aguascalientes) would also be a good place to check given his long working relationship with that city

Copyrighted material can't be posted on this site. Miramontes will be in copyright until 2030. Like books, music sometimes disappears in the lead up to copyright expiry so publishers can re/release an edition without having to pay royalties.

Hello; randomly, I saw a list of other Castro piano works on the cover page of his Valse Melancolique (op. 26, No. 2) that lists Op. 38: 1 - Menuet Rococo and 2 - Plainte. Would anyone by chance have a copy of No. 2 (Plainte)?

I have tons of Castro but am missing that opus. It is on my list of works to order - if nothing is forthcoming from your message, then happy to order this work to share.
