Manuel Ponce was the founder of Mexican musical nationalism, often incorporating the melodies of harmonised folk–songs into his music. Widely travelled – he studied in Europe, at first in Bologna and then, between 1925 and 1933, as a pupil of Dukas in Paris – Ponce assimilated a wide range of styles and influences, including European– influenced Romanticism, indigenous idioms and a more advanced harmonic language.
This is the first of eight volumes devoted to Ponce’s complete piano music.
