Suggested Ibero American composers:

A compulsory piece by a composer of the Ibero-American area, selected from the following list:
Isaac Albeniz, Cacilda Borges Barbosa, Sergio Calligaris, Manuel De Falla, Alberto Ginastera, Enrique Granados, Mozart Camargo Guarnieri, Carlos Guastavino, Mauricio Kagel, Federico Mompou, Ernesto Lecuona, Xavier Montsalvatge, Astor Piazzolla, Antonio Soler, Joaquin Turina, Heitor Villa-Lobos.
The list is obviously not exhaustive and the artistic direction reserves the right to accept any other pieces by composers of the same geographic area.
In this case, a copy of the score is to be attached to the application, along with a CV of the composer.
