- Abstract
Drawing from unpublished documents, this paper analyzes the musical work undertaken by Italian maestro Pietro Cesari in the late 19th century Valparaíso, from a transnational perspective. Such an approach allows for making visible and interconnecting his musical works and networks that this musician built in different European and Latin American cities. The analyzis of Cesari's musical work in Valparaiso as a case study unveil musical and extramusical procedures that European musical workers undertook to make a living in the Southern Cone at the turn of the century. The analysis of Cesari's unpublished documents and utilitarian compositions allows a twofold argument. On the one hand, the Opera business functioned as a platform for Italian musicians to access new musical jobs in the postcolonial states on the Southern Cone. Such jobs spawned the formation of bands, concerts, and compositions different from Opera, which leads to the second argument. These musical works helped assimilate liberal values suitable to the process of consolidation of the Chilean nation-state, especially after the War of the Pacific.
