Pedro Ximenez Abrill Tirado was a Peruvian composer from the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th century. He is one of the biggest exponents of the Classical and early Romantic styles in South America, for which he has been compared with W.A. Mozart. Ximenez’ music, however, incorporates folkloric elements from Peruvian and Bolivian traditional music into a predominantly European musical aesthetic. His work, therefore, has become an important source for the study of the music scene in South America in the time of the early Republics.
