Full Score Only Por Una Cabeza is a popular tango that originally appeared as a song, written in 1935 by composer Carlos Gardel, with lyrics by Alfredo Le Pera. The title is translated as “by a head,” which is a Spanish horse-racing phrase referring to a horse that only narrowly wins a race by the length of its head. Notably, the tango has appeared in a number of films, including Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List. Christopher Selby’s arrangement of this charming tune for string orchestra will be an instant hit with conductors and players alike. It begins with a simple and flirtatious theme in G major that is repeatedly interrupted by a strong and passionate theme in the parallel minor. Its immediately likable melody and straightforward construction make it the perfect intermediate selection for exploring a number of musical and technical elements, including dynamic contrast, major and minor tonalities, arco and pizzicato technique, varied articulation, and musical form.

For a long time after Romanticism had come to the fore, it was generally agreed that Brahms somehow did not get it: History and Progress - it was thought - were proceeding along one clear path and Brahms - who was composing sonatas and symphonies instead of nocturnes and symphonic poems - had taken the wrong way. Almost one century later, Schonberg wrote an essay, Brahms, der Fortschrittliche (Brahms, the progressive), in which he explained that it wasn't like that at all.Fully assuming the risk to appear somehow irreverent, I have to confess: Over the years, I came to the conclusion that the present - and the future - can be created only by loving the past. As Brahms had shown us, it is only by accepting the challenge of taking our heritage into our own hands, that we can create something new. We cannot avoid engaging with the past. Therefore, starting with my Sinfonia n. 1, I began to flirt with such a strong and effective musical structure like the sonata form. I re-read and freely transformed it, because it is a sturdy and resilient structure, but also a theatrical and colorful one. For me, it is a happy structure. And I think that today more than ever we need something like this: We need to find places - even imaginary ones - where we can give happiness a form of its own.Nicola Campogrande, December 2020
