Tangos, like ragtimes and waltzes, are an integral part of Elena Kats-Chernin's music, always in a new and varied form. In it, the composer allusively combines her present time with the classical tradition and high art with light music. Slicked Back Tango was originally composed in 1995 for piano four hands and has since been written for numerous other instrumentations. The music “harks back to the time of silent movies. I was thinking of the 1920s and film star Rudolph Valentino. The title refers to his hairstyle”, says Kats-Chernin.

Heutiger Klavierunterricht verbleibt oft sehr lange in den weitgehend vorzeichenfreien Tonarten. Den Schulern bleibt somit der grosste Teil der musikalischen Farbenwelt langfristig vorenthalten. Ziel dieser Sammlung ist es, zu zeigen, dass schon in einem sehr fruhen Stadium der Klavierausbildung in Tonarten mit vielen Vorzeichen musiziert werden kann.

Black Cat - behind the title, one may rightly assume an allusion to the composer's surname, which comes from the Russian language. Elena Kats-Chernin indulges her passion for ragtime and tango in this ironically nostalgic miniature. The customers of the famous Parisian Belle Époque cabaret “Le Chat Noir” would have been pleased! The sensual mewing of the black cat is expressed in the portamenti of the violin part, even better than in the version for piano solo (BB3434), which is available as well.
