Resumen
Federico Gerdes ha sido considerado un músico de importante presencia en la historia de la música peruana. Varias razones lo sustentan: fue el director fundador de la primera casa de estudios académicos en el Perú y la dirigió durante treinta y cinco años; organizó por más de cuatro décadas la vida musical de la ciudad capital de la República; introdujo un repertorio prácticamente desconocido en nuestro país que abrió horizontes estéticos y formó el gusto de los amantes de la música; entregó un pequeño manojo de composiciones de rigurosa factura que, pese a su brevedad y poca amplitud, contienen altos valores musicales. Extendió, hasta el fin de sus días, la visión romántica de la música en la que se había formado. Viviendo la etapa de los nacionalismos e indigenismos, se mantuvo ajeno a esas preocupaciones. Dejó sentadas las bases de una cultura musical cuya trascendencia se siente hasta la actualidad. En la conmemoración del sesquicentenario de su nacimiento y en el septuagésimo de su muerte se hace una somera revisión de su persona, su obra, sus acciones y de las huellas que dejó en nuestra música.
Federico Gerdes has been considered a musician with an important presence in the history of Peruvian music. Several reasons support this: he was the founding director of the first house of academic studies in Peru and directed it for thirty-five years; he carried out the musical life of Peru’s capital city for more than four decades; he introduced an unknown repertoire in our country that opened the aesthetic horizons and shaped the taste of music lovers. He composed a handful of rigorously crafted works that, despite their brevity and limited breadth, contain high musical values. He extended his romantic vision of music, in which he had trained until his last days. Living at the same time of both nationalisms and indigenism trends, he remained oblivious to those concerns. He laid strong bases for a musical culture whose significance remains in our time. In commemoration of the sesquicentennial of his birth and the seventieth anniversary of his death, hereby is a brief review of his character, his work, his actions, and the imprint he left on our music.
