Summary of This Score
This collection brings together 25 tangos by the revolutionary composer and musician Astor Piazzolla, a major figure of tango nuevo. Designed for clarinet and piano duo, these pieces capture the urban energy, rhythmic tension, and melodic poetry characteristic of his writing. The arrangement highlights the clarinet's voice, capable of shifting from a lyrical line to sharper accents, supported by a piano that structures the groove, syncopations, and characteristic harmonies.
Through these tangos, the performer works on a wide variety of moods: marked pulse, offbeats, expressive rubato, dynamic contrasts, and changes of character within a single piece. The influences evoked in this collection are felt both in melodic turns and harmonic colors, offering an ideal ground to refine listening in duo and rhythmic precision. It is also an excellent resource to deepen the style: clear articulations, "spoken" phrasing, breath control and phrase endings, not to mention ensemble coordination with the piano.
Among the most anticipated titles, you will find notably Libertango and Oblivion, two emblematic works, often requested in concert and particularly effective for building a program. With its 168 pages, this score is aimed at clarinetists and pianists wishing to enrich their repertoire with tangos beloved by audiences, while developing an expressive and stylish interpretation, from studio work to public performance.
