For several years, we have been researching important pieces in the Records and Recordings section, taking into account the writer’s sensitivity toward art, the expert stated in an interview with Prensa Latina.

His mother influenced him and—according to biographies— inculcated in her children a love of art, as she had been educated with extensive opportunities to study music in Europe, she added.

According to the specialist, he took advantage of his father’s large inheritance to teach music classes, not only to his children, but also to the local children.

A small chamber orchestra was formed in one of the house’s living rooms; Hemingway played the cello, his mother the piano, his sister the viola, and someone joined in to play the violin, which became the genesis for developing the project, the researcher recalled.

The specialist presented the presentation “Introduction to Jazz Piano Styles in the Hemingway Collection” the day before in the Universal Art Building of the National Museum of Fine Arts.

The Academic Colloquium is being held there until the 28th, a space for exchanging information with specialists and institutions affiliated with the Ernest Hemingway Museum and for comparing recent works about his life and work.
