Astor Piazzolla : Cafe 1930 from Histoire Du Tango - violin piano duo

#violin #music #piazzolla
Histoire du Tango is a composition by tango composer Astor Piazzolla, originally scored for flute and guitar in 1985 and published in 1986. It is one of the most famous compositions by Piazzolla and is often played with different combinations, including violin or double bass substituted for the flute, and piano, harp or marimba substituted for the guitar.
It was Piazzolla's life work to bring the tango from the bordellos and dance halls of Argentina into the concert halls of Europe and America. He is among the astonishingly varied group of composers who were enabled by the teaching of Nadia Boulanger to become more authentically themselves. Boulanger - doyenne of high European art - encouraged Piazzolla not to become another European-style composer, but to apply to the tango the lessons of his study with her. Piazzolla's Histoire du Tango is his only work for flute and guitar - the instruments associated with the first flowering of the form, in Buenos Aires in 1882.
Histoire du Tango attempts to convey the history and evolution of the tango in four movements: Bordel 1900, Café 1930, Nightclub 1960, and Concert d'aujourd'hui. Piazzolla provided program notes that expand on the individual movements.
Café, 1930 is another age of the tango. People stopped dancing it as they did in 1900, preferring instead simply to listen to it. It became more musical, and more romantic. This tango has undergone total transformation: the movements are slower, with new and often melancholy harmonies. Tango orchestras come to consist of two violins, two concertinas, a piano, and a bass. The tango is sometimes sung as well.

Une très belle surprise ! Rendre hommage à Astor Piazzolla avec le violon est peu commun, d'autant que Piazzola a une carrure énorme due aux souffrances vécues à son époque. Bravo et merci et félicitations.
