- Between 1848 and 1888, several members of the Echeverría family compiled and collected a total of 78 music scores in a binder’s volume. This bound collection of musical scores and other miscellaneous documents belonged to sisters Ana and Cristina Echeverría, who performed the music contained in this binder’s volume at salon gatherings held in Bogotá. Printed and handwritten, the sheet music found in Ana and Cristina Echeverría's binder’s volume feature works by composers such as José María Ponce de León (Bogotá, Colombia), and Jesús María Suárez (Caracas, Venezuela), as well the music of Ana and Cristina's cousin, Rosa Echeverría (Santa Marta, Colombia). This digital exhibition tells the story of this binder’s volume and of its owners. The exhibition also explores the music practices formed around this musical object, the sonic and material flows materialized in the sheet music itself, and everything else that can be told about this particular binder’s volume that accompanied the Echeverria family’s evenings throughout the mid-to-late 19th century.
