Popis: During the second half of the twentieth century a group of Mexican composers was consciously avoiding nationalist models that had been carried over from the time of the Revolution (1910–1920s), instead favoring an “international avant-garde.” For Mario Lavista (b. 1943), this turn was accompanied by a cosmopolitan ideal—a site in which he could navigate among the expectations placed on him by a consolidated artistic and intellectual elite. In focusing on his works from the late 1960s and early 1970s, my intention is to show how this cosmopolitan ideal informed Lavista’s compositional decisions and how it played a role in the establishment of his public persona. resumen: Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX un grupo de compositores mexicanos evito conscientemente aquellos modelos nacionalistas que habian estado presentes desde el tiempo de la Revolucion (1910–1920s) y asi favorecer una “vanguardia internacional”. Para Mario Lavista (1943– ) este giro estuvo acompanado por un ideal cosmopolita: un espacio donde el pudiera navegar entre las expectativas que recibio de una elite artistica e intelectual. Al centrarme en sus obras de los finales de los anos 1960 y principios de los anos 1970, mi intencion es demostrar como este ideal cosmopolita informo las decisiones compositivas de Lavista y que jugo un rol en el establecimiento de su persona publica.
