Description
This piece is dedicated to my grandmother Griselda Cam. It draws inspiration from the idea of "mestizaje," as envisioned by the Peruvian writer Jose María Arguedas, whereby cultures can co-exist without the subjugation of one by the other. in such a spirit, Sonata Andina para piano solo mixes elements from the western classical and Andean folk music traditions. — Gabriela Lena Frank
