Folkloric Elements in Latin American Works for Bassoon; works by Noelia Escalzo, Daniel Cueto, and Arodi Martínez Serrano

Within this research talk, I present an exploration of folk elements in Latin American works for bassoon. As part of my preparation for a performance guide I created of Argenta by Noelia Escalzo from Argentina, Fagot Pukllay by Daniel Cuerto from Peru, and Duasteño and Duasteco by Arodi Martínez Serrano from Mexico, I conducted in-depth interviews with the composers. The interviews focused on their lives, styles, aesthetics, socio-cultural backgrounds, and the folk styles they are inspired by, in order to provide a better understanding of the composers’ works.
