Rházes Hernández López was a twentieth-century Venezuelan composer and flutist, was born in Caracas, June 30, 1918 and died in Caracas in 1991.
He composed several works for the piano, including Casualismo no. 6 (1984), and Prisma no. 1 (1979). Many of his works have been published by Ediciones del Congreso de la República, Instituto Latinoamericano de Investigaciones y Estudios Musicales "Vicente Emilio Sojo, Consejo Nacional de la Cultura."
López wrote at least two works for piano trio: Fragmentación cero and Tres Espacios Para Trio, a three-movement work. The latter was performed at the Third Music Festival of Caracas, Venezuela (1966) by violinist Jose Figueroa, cellist Adolfo Odnoposoff, and pianist Hector Tosar.
