Annotated Catalog of Silvestre Revueltas's works

Abstract

This publication is the result of the updating and translation of the Catalogue of Revueltas' Works, first published in 1998 by the UNAM. Since its publication, the catalog has been the primary source of reference for Revueltas' repertoire worldwide. However, extensive research carried out since then by various scholars around the world made it necessary to revise and update the catalog, not only in terms of the works themselves, but also in terms of literature and recordings. Now recognized as one of the most important composers of the 20th century in Latin America, interest in his life and work has grown exponentially. This also led to the need to translate the catalog into English and publish it as a bilingual electronic reference platform, as well as in electronic and physical book formats. The richness and diversity of Revueltas' work, as well as the literature and recordings that have emerged in the 21st century, made it necessary to revise the structure and content of the Catalog. The new version includes the editor’s comments and a specific bibliography for each work, making this publication an essential primary research source.
