Con la colaboración del Centro Cultural de la Generación del 27
Coedición con el INAEM y la Fundación Scherzo

Adolfo Salazar, Spanish composer and musicologist, died in 1958. He was a leading figure in the musical scene during the 1920´s and 30´s, and an internationally famous music critic.

The Residencia de Estudiantes, the Fundación Scherzo and the Instituto Nacional de Las Artes Escénicas y la Música (INAM) co-published this volume. The Centro Cultural de la Generación del 98 also contributed to this tribute to Salazar on the fiftieth anniversary of his death.

This book is a critical edition of Salazar’s correspondence with prominent figures in Spain and Mexico, where he lived in exile. He wrote some three hundred letters, and received many from Ígor Stravinsky, Ezra Pound, Federico García Lorca, Felipe Pedrell, Ernesto and Rodolfo Halffter, Jesús Bal y Gay, John B. Trend, Hanz Scholz, Gerardo Diego, León Sánchez Cuesta and many musicologists. The letters reveal important facts about Salazar’s personal and professional life, as well as valuable information about his correspondents.

Consuelo Carredano, a Mexican musicologist, has conducted extensive research in Spain and Mexico. Most of the letters are kept at the Archivo Adolfo Salazar in Mexico and others were found in the archives of the Residencia de Estudiantes, the Fundación Ortega y Gasset, the Paul Sacher Foundation and the Colegio de México.

Carredano wrote an introduction and added several appendiXes: chronological, sources and names indexes, biographical profiles of the correspondents, a bibliography, and a list of Salazar’s publications. Consuelo Carredano studied Music at the National Conservatory of Music, Pacific Western University, Los Angeles, California, and at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, where she is doing her Ph. D. in Musicology. From 1985 to 2003 she worked as researcher at the Centro Nacional de Investigación, Documentación e Información Musical Carlos Chávez (Cenidim), where she specialized in Mexican Musicology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. She is the author of numerous books and research papers and is a regular speaker at international academic meetings.
