Based on Augusto Novaro's Natural Music System, the Cinco estudios para piano were premiered at the renowned musical evenings organised by Novaro. The relationship between Emiliana de Zubeldía and Augusto Novaro led to a change in the author's compositional style. These studies, composed in the early 1940s, were published by Ricordi Americana in 1946. They are dedicated to Miguelito Block, Elvira Larios, Asunción Izquierdo, Sophie Cheiner and Renée Bauxou de Schweinfurth, respectively.
