Summary of This Score
Schmitz: Mini-Tango Tangissimo! brings tango within keyboard reach in a collection of 34 short and expressive pieces, designed to immediately evoke the "tango reflex": steady pulse, typical accentuation, dance-like phrasing, and character contrasts. Each piece has an evocative title, also printed in Spanish, and the collection covers a wide range of moods, from playful winks to melancholy, up to more lyrical and dreamy pages. Written for piano four hands, the collection encourages listening and coordination: both partners share comparable difficulty, making it an excellent resource for lessons, piano ensemble music, or simply the joy of playing together. Thanks to a progression ranging from very easy to intermediate level, these tangos also form an ideal repertoire for working on coordination, rhythmic precision, attacks, and tempo stability, while developing a sense of style. A "tangissimo" selection to pick and choose or play in order, to enrich recital programs and vary classical repertoires.
