Written by Ginastera the year before he moved to the United States, this work can be considered a turning point in his compositional style. He positioned it as an "experimental work," explaining that he "addressed one musical challenge in each piece." Furthermore, the term "America" here refers to the entire American continent, and the work includes pieces that celebrate composers not only from Argentina but also from the United States.
