Composers from South America (excl Brazil & Argentina)

[mballan]

We've had a number of works by Enrique Soro posted here. There are many more available through the Chilean website:

- these are all free and include more piano works, chamber, orchestral and vocal pieces. Quite a cornacopia of the composer's works.

There is a fabulous collection of piano music from Venezuela, mainly waltzes and light music, for free here :

This is a HUGE collection. I had no idea so much piano music was written in Venezuela. It will take some time to sift through all this, but I'm already finding some jems. Thanks for finding this for us, Jean-Seb!

Carreno op33 Esquisse Italienne 1 Venise.pdf
Carreno op34 Esquisse Italienne 2 Florence.pdf
Carreno op34 Intermezzo-Scherzo.pdf

Thank you for the quick answer. And providing all the requests. What can I ask more?

You can if you want. I suspect I have most if not all of Teresa Carreno's solo piano works - all nms tttos, since we've been down this road already quite a while ago.

I would really enjoy them, although I do not find a list of her works...but in wikipedia there are some:
* El vals de Teresita, dedicada a una de sus hijas
* La cesta de flores, op. 9
* Marcha fúnebre op. 11
* La oración, op. 12, en consecuencia con la muerte de su madre
* Himno a Bolívar
* Saludo a Caracas
* Himno al ilustre americano
* Mazurca de salón
* Une revue à Prague
* La nota falsa
* Balada op. 15
* Danza venezolana
* "Nocturnos" (Varios)

If you have some of this, it would be great, although the ballade op15 is already posted, and la nota falsa is in imslp, so there's no need for those.

According to a dissertation on her life and piano works, this is one of many unpublished works and so probably only exists in manuscript. These are mainly from her early years as a touring child prodigy. For some reason it is one of three pieces cited as major works that seems to be endlessly copy/pasted between articles on her life. Her biography lists as one of the many works played at a concert in 1885.

Her estate moved around over the decades, and no inventory from earlier times exists. My reading is that whatever remains is split between Vassar College and the Library of Caracas.
