Tanguedia

Access

About

The program is Six tango etudes by Astor Piazzolla for solo violin. These six tango etudes are a highly original blending of the classical concert etude and Piazzolla's "new tango" music. They present the player with technical challenges pertaining to given aspect of violin playing, yet are effective concert works. They were composed in 1987 and belong to a group of works from Piazzolla's later career in which he returned to "classical" specification of the musical moment while by no means abandoning his connection to the tango.
