An \u003ci\u003eenfant terrible\u003c\/i\u003e in his own country, Chávez was an integral part of the emerging music scene in the United States in the 1920s. His highly individual style-diatonic, dissonant, contrapuntal-addressed both modernity and Mexico's indigenous past. Chávez was also a governmental arts administrator, founder of major Mexican cultural institutions, and conductor and founder of the Orquesta Sinfónica de México. \u003ci\u003eCarlos Chávez and His World \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together an international roster of leading scholars to delve into not only Chávez's music but also the history, art, and politics surrounding his life and work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors explore Chávez's vast body of compositions, including his piano music, symphonies, violin concerto, late compositions, and Indianist music. They look at his connections with such artistic greats as Aaron Copland, Miguel Covarrubias, Henry Cowell, Silvestre Revueltas, and Paul Strand.
