"Pedro Ximenez’s works are a valuable antecedent to understanding Latin American musical culture and a vitally important topic of study and research. In the 20th century, the existence of this brilliant composer was revealed for the first time, in Lima, by Néstor Guestrín. Later, during the first The Guitar in Peru recital, performed at the ICPNA in July 1985, Octavio Santa Cruz “premiered” a number of his minuets for guitar. Also, Gunther Vilar made available a copy of the facsimile edition of the 100 minuets for guitar published by Parent. A copy of this publication was given to us by Octavio Santa Cruz, to whom we are very thankful. We wish to highlight the valuable work carried out by Santa Cruz in researching and disseminating Peruvian guitar music. He is nowadays a reference and a model. The minuets for guitar are extremely rich musically and technically. They are divided in 2 sections, which are constantly repeated. There are no tempo indicators. The movement –crescendo, decrescendo, dolce, forte, piano or pianissimo– written on the facsimile and the notation marks are reproduced without any change in this publication. They could be grouped by tonality to be performed in concert."
