The Tandas de valses of Jose Estella capitalism and mode of production of popular music in Manila in the late nineteenth century The Tandas de valses of Jose Estella 2022 ill. This essay focuses on four of José Estella’s tandas de valses for piano and their mode of production in the changing political economy of music in Manila in the late nineteenth century. As a form of popular music during the Spanish colonial period, these tandas de valses were among the piano pieces that circulated in Manila in the form of printed music sheets made available to the market by publishers which were purchased by the upper and middle classes. Regarded as “king of waltz,” Estella’s agency is worthy to focus on because he epitomizes the musician who got involved in the machinations of productive relations in commodified popular music. He provides a case on how musicians responded to the rising demand for formal and informal salon gatherings, the increasing fascination for domestic piano music-making, and the growing market for printed salon music.
