| Periodical references | Parker, Robert. “Revueltas: The Chicago Years.” Latin American Music Review 25:2. The year of composition is inferred from a note from Henry Cowell, written to Revueltas on the reverse of a promotional leaflet for his magazine New Music, in which he thanks the composer for sending the scores for Batik and The Knife Sharpener. The leaflet lists the music published in the October 1927 issue of New Music and announces the content of the next issue, January 1928. |
