Sommario/riassunto

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. Understanding analysis as an affective practice, this study explores the intertextual connections between the multiple texts that are present in Lavista's music.
