Expérimentateur de génie en rupture avec la tradition tanguera virtuose du bandonéon Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) révolutionne le langage du tango en le dissociant de la danse. Le tango fait désormais son entrée dans le domaine de la musique de concert. Un soir de 1959 Piazzolla apprend le décès de son père. Il compose un tango pour bandonéon aux caractéristiques inhabituelles : Adíos Nonino. Une œuvre intimiste aux harmonies éthérées qui rompt avec les rythmes traditionnels du tango.

Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) revolutionized the tango: with his bandoneon (instrument similar to the accordion), he dared where others did not. During his career, which started in the 1950?s, Piazzolla produced a real revolution, developing the musical structure of the tango in a truly innovative way. He also understood from the very beginning the huge expressiveness of tango. In recent years the tango has again become extremely popular and this arrangement of one of Piazzolla?s most famous pieces will be an instant hit with both band and audience.

One of the classic tangos from Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla Libertango has attained worldwide popularity and remains one of his most popular works. Arranged here in a sensuous Latin rock style this version features the woodwinds on the main melodic lines and also a brief solo for trumpet with nicely crafted background figures throughout. Sure to appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) was the extraordinary grandmaster of the Argentinean Tango.He composed over 330 tangos with Libertango being one of the most famous. With this arrangement, we have the pleasure of introducing you to our new composer-arranger Bart Picqueur.

Astor Piazzolla with his bandoneon is not only the undisputed master of the Argentine tango but also an exceptional exponent of southern music in general. He is the inspiration of many artists and composers and has performed with world-music formations as well as stars from the world of classical music.Oblivion is a slow and melancholic piece that can be played with or without the accordion, depending on your requirements. We recommend this arrangement if you are looking for something different.

Arr. Lorenzo Bocci. Par PIAZZOLLA ASTOR. Le seul nom d?Astor Piazzolla, le plus grand interprète du tango moderne, incarne la magie de cette danse mystérieuse et immorale, séductrice et insoumise, sensuelle et cruelle, fondée sur des ruptures de rythmes et un érotisme évident. En 1984, Astor Piazzolla compose Oblivion pour le film Henri IV du réalisateur italien Marco Bellocchio. Cette pièce émouvante et nostalgique évolue sur un rythme rigoureux qui laisse beaucoup d?espace au développement d?une mélodie lyrique et introspective. / Niveau : 3 / Pop and rock / Recueil / Concert Band ou Harmonie
