Light music from Armando Carrera (1899-1949) who made a living as a pianist for silent films.
Also posted some light valses from Rodolfo Lucero.

Cheers

This is again thankfully and readily available at the University of Chile and the National Library of Chile.
Here are some substancial works from chilean composers of the 20th century.
Diana pey (1922-1988) was born in spain. Her family made refuge in Chile after the Spanish Civil War and was teaching at the Chilean Conservatory until she was exiled from Chile (pinochet regime) to Miami, USA.

Juan Orrego Salas (1919-2019) was born in Santiago, Chile. He began his studies in composition in Chile with Pedro Humberto Allende and Domingo Santa Cruz. His music came to the attention of American composer Aaron Copland with whom he subsequently studied at Tanglewood in 1946 along with a group of Latin American composers that also included Roque Cordero, Alberto Ginastera, Julián Orbón and Héctor Tosar.

Becerra-Schmidt (1925-2010) was born in Temuco, studied in Santiago, and lived in Germany since 1973, where he taught at Oldenburg University since 1974. Becerra was a prolific Chilean composer. His catalogue includes hundreds of compositions that goes from the most traditional to the most avant-garde, from popular songs to large scale cantatas, symphonies and oratorios.

Carlos Botto (1923-2004) studied with Gustavo Becerra Schmidt, Juan Orrego Salas and Domingo Santa Cruz.

Carmela Makenna (1879-1962) was the aunt of composer Alfonso Leng. She studied music theory with Bindo Paoli in Santiago and continued her studies in piano and composition with Conrad Ansorge and Hans Mersmann in Berlin. in 1934 she made her debut as a composer in Berlin with Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. She was successful as both a pianist and composer in Europe, and is identified with expressionist style.

Cirilo Vila (1937-2015) studied composition with Alfonso Letelier (1954-1958) and Gustavo Becerra-Schmidt. Vila compositions were mixed. In popular music, this included transcriptions of songs by Víctor Jara and songs composed for the group Quilapayún. In the area of scholarly or experimental music, he has composed countless works premiered at major festivals of contemporary music in the country.

Even in Uruguay and Argentina Cluzeau Mortet's works are very hard to find. I re-wrote some of those works in Finale from very damaged scores from my private collection. Enjoy it. Saludos Lito

Search in IMSLP (8 works)

Cluzeau Mortet- Junto al fogón pno..pdfCluzeau Mortet- Milonga pno..pdfCluzeau Mortet- Escarcha pno..pdfCluzeau Mortet - Anocheciendo pno..pdf
I've set Cluzeau Mortet's 8 Primeras piezas criollas in Musescore from the hard-to-read handwritten scores (which have many errors with clefs etc) on IMSLP: https://imslp.org/wiki/8_Primeras_pieza ... t%2C_Luis)

http://archive.org/details/latinamericanpia00newy
The second half of the book has pieces by Alexandra [de] Markoff, who was a Russian pianist, dedicatee of pieces by Lyadov, who lived in Paris and, from what I can understand from the web, probably emigrated to the United States and maybe later to Latin America. Some of the pieces are not at all Latin America in style.
I have been going through this book and found out some more about her from public genealogy records and other archives. Her name is shared with a perfume house, which dominates search results unless other terms like "composer, piano, music" are added.

Alexandra/Alessandra [de]Markoff/Markov was born in St Petersburg and at some point married and lived in Sao Paulo as Alexandra de Arruda Botelho.
Her birthdate is noted as 1895, somehow producing her first child a year later! (Her husband was born in 1867).

She composed a jaunty foxtrot called Oh Ya Ya which was covered by Paul Whiteman in 1928, although a Youtuber claims this was pinched from a Chilean work.
There's also a US copyright note for a piece called Russian Lullaby (1947?)

Thanks very much for alerting me to this book (I hadn't seen the orginal post). The book is indeed interesting, not least because it has a piece by the Dominican Republic composer Juan Francesco Garcia (hope I spelt it right), of whom I have only ever seen one work before.

I found a recording of his piece on YouTube but it was not very clear. Apparently it had its US premiere at Carnegie Hall in 1949 by a prominent Dominican pianist.

I think this book is actually misfiled here as most of the composers in it are not from South America!
There's a Russian, a Dominican, a Puerto-Rican (del Busto)...
