Abstract
The “Piano Sonatinas” lecture demonstrates and discusses concepts related to the various aspects of Latin American musical production for the piano such as the experimental, the intimate, the domestic, the miniaturized, and at a times the instructional. All of these aspects fit elegantly and effortlessly within neoclassical formal paradigms as shown in the works of Latin American composers Juan Bautista Plaza (Venezuela); Héctor Tosar (Uruguay); Roque Cordero (Panamá); Luis A. Escobar (Colombia), R. A. Amengual (Chile) as well as a host of composers from Brazil and Argentina. The sheer number of Sonatinas composed last century is in itself a mark of the variety of approaches and the richness of this repertoire.
