This thesis proposes to carry out the musical analysis of the most significant piano work of the Arequipa composer Carlos Sánchez Málaga (1904-1995), incorporating in this process an auto-ethnographic approach, complemented with my experience as a performer of his works. It is in this line that I will present my most striking memories of my piano sessions with Carlos Sánchez Málaga, in which technical suggestions were interspersed with observations on the meaning and symbolic meaning of the pieces to be played. These evocations will be subjected to systematic verification through musical analysis and will help me to explain, based on my own experience as part of the teaching process of the composer under study, the scope and character of the works presented. The musical analysis will distinguish between four aspects: formal, modal, motivic-thematic and symbolic. I have selected three of the most relevant piano works by Don Carlos: Acuarelas Infantiles, Cayma and Yanahuara, composed during the 1920s, coinciding with the years in which indigenismo intensely influenced the arts, politics and the intelligentsia in general. Representatives of a different compositional approach: Acuarelas Infantiles, a suite loaded with impressionist images; Cayma, representation of the soundscape of that Andean district of Arequipa with Andean reminiscences; and Yanahuara, a program work, which is consistent with the subtitle Day of the Dead, masterfully describing it from the sound effects it achieves. It is also revealed that the work of Sánchez Málaga is crossed by the influence of impressionist harmony; of polytonality and polyrhythm, while still including Arequipa’s traditional music.
