Composer, pianist, editor, writer, and pedagogue Mario Lavista (1943-2021) was a central figure of the cultural and artistic scene in Mexico and one of the leading Ibero-American composers of his generation. In this book, author Ana R. Alonso-Minutti explores the intertextual connections between the multiple texts--musical or otherwise--that are present in Lavista's music. Implementing an innovative mosaic of methodologies, the book offers both a fascinating look at Lavista's compositional career and a contextual panorama of the contemporary music scene in Mexico.
