Roberto Falabella: un músico y ser humano excepcional Roberto Falabella: an Exceptional Musician and Human Being
Abstract
Algo se ha escrito -especialmente en la Revista Musical Chilena- sobre Roberto Falabella como compositor, pero muy poco -o nada- sobre Roberto Falabella Correa como hombre, como ser humano. Este trabajo pretende -aunque sea en parte- llenar ese vacío, acercándose al creador desde ese ámbito que, en alguna medida, no menor, puede explicar su posición como artista en la sociedad en que le tocó vivir y, por lo tanto, comprender el sentido de su producción como músico.Most of the articles on Roberto Falabella, particularly those published in the Revista Musical Chilena, deal mainly with his activity as composer. However, practically nothing has been written on him as a person and a human being. This article attempts to fill this gap, at least in part, focusing on his personal and human features. Hopefully it will contribute to the understanding of his position in society as artist during his lifetime as well as to the understanding of the significance of his musical production.
