Published by Editorial Copistas Acuario (A0.1478307). La presente publicacio?n de la tanda de valses «Pita», del reconocido compositor dominicano Jose? De Jesu?s Ravelo, se basa en la primera edicio?n de la obra realizada en 1897 con el estampado musical disen?ado en Leipzig por C. G. Ro?der. Esta coleccio?n de valses esta? dedicada a la entonces enamorada del compositor, la Srta. Josefa de la Fuente, conocida como “Pepita”, con quien contraeri?a matrimonio en 1902. Adema?s, esta? documentada la intencio?n del compositor de recaudar fondos con la edicio?n de esta obra y destinarlos al proyecto del Parque Independencia en Santo Domingo. De ahi? la inscripcio?n «mi ofrenda al Parque ‘Independencia’» en la portada, la cual hemos decidido recrear como homenaje, incluyendo tambie?n una reinterpretacio?n de la ilustracio?n original alego?rica a la independencia dominicana. Por lo tanto, adema?s de ser una de las primeras ediciones impresas conocidas de mu?sica dominicana, la tanda de valses «Pita» se circunscribe tambie?n a la historia del desarrollo y expansio?n de nuestra ciudad capital, ligada al proceso de construccio?n de uno de sus puntos de referencia ma?s importantes. Agradecemos la iniciativa de la Fundacio?n Copistas Acuario por reeditar esta obra como resultado de su continua labor de rescate del patrimonio musical nacional. Ahora si?, adentre?monos en esta historia de un joven Ravelo enamorado y emocione?monos junto a e?l con la mu?sica que inspiro? su amor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The present publication of the “Pita” waltz suite, by the renowned Dominican composer Jose? De Jesu?s Ravelo, is based on the first edition of the work made in 1897 with the musical print designed in Leipzig by C. G. Ro?der. This collection of waltzes is dedicated to the composer’s then fiance?e, Miss Josefa de la Fuente, known as “Pepita”, whom he would marry in 1902. In addition, it is documented the composer’s intention to raise funds with the edition of this work and allocate them to the project of the Independencia Park in Santo Domingo. Hence the inscription “mi ofrenda al Parque ‘Independencia’” on the cover, which we have decided to recreate as a tribute, also including a reinterpretation of the original illustration allegorical to the Dominican independence. Therefore, in addition to being one of the first known printed editions of Dominican music, the “Pita” waltz suite is also circumscribed to the history of the development and expansion of our capital city, linked to the process of construction of one of its most important landmarks. We are grateful for the initiative of the Fundacio?n Copistas Acuario for reissuing this work as a result of its continuous work to rescue the national musical heritage. Now, let’s delve into this story of a young Ravelo in love and let’s be moved along with him by the music that inspired his love.
