Abstract
This article is a reelaboration of a lecture by the author in one of the halls surrounding the Luis A. Calvo Auditorium of the Industrial University of Santander in the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia, in the occasion of one of the first Piano Festivals celebrated there since 1984. The piano examples were then played by an assistent pianist. Those fragmentary examples of romantic, postromantic and nationalist characteristic pieces from Europe and both Americas were used by the author to demonstrate the true influences on the piano works of Calvo, his compositive capacities and the mistaken reppresentation of him as the Colombian Chopin.
