Tangos for Two Pianos, Vol. 1

Description

Piano 1, Piano 2 — A highly anticipated and well-received addition to the Carl Fischer roster, Tangos for Two Pianos, Vol. 1 is a compilation of three piano tangos written by the great Argentine tango pianist and composer, Astor Piazzolla. The three piano pieces of the first Piazzolla volume are Libertango, Verano porteno, and Tangata. Libertango was composed in 1974 and was a popular song that jumpstarted the Piazzolla boom and since then has been recorded, performed, and emulated by many composers and musicians worldwide. The second piece of this volume, Verano porteño or Summer in Buenos Aires , was the first of Piazzolla's timeless Las cuatro estaciones (The Four Buenos Aires Seasons) collection and was originally written for a 1965 stage play. The third and final installment in this collection is Tangata. This piece was composed in 1965 and is dedicated to the Argentine choreographer Oscar Araiz. Tangos for Two Pianos, Vol. 1 is a fantastic collection which has already received a great deal of public acclaim and praise.
