Astor Piazzolla

[astroboy]

Hi everyone..

I currently have an obsession with the music of Piazzolla. I love it, and am trying to get my hands on a few scores. I have looked on the net EVERYWHERE plus the a few library catalogues, but with no success. (I haven't yet had the chance to go to my local music shop yet, but will do soon).

Anyways, i've pretty much found the scores im after, these being Oblivion and Primavera Porteno (both arranged for piano, cello and violin), and also Adios Nonino (for piano). The only one that i cant find is Oblivion arranged for solo piano.. there seems to be arrangements for everything else, besides piano. I read somewhere that Piazzolla only wrote a handful of solo piano works, so I dunno whether the original was for piano. I know there are alot of transcriptions of his pieces. Anyways, if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be fantastic. Thanks!

I discovered Piazzolla last Dec and love it too!

He wrote for a type of South American accordian. He is credited with bringing back the Tango into popular culture.

For piano his only work written specifically for this was Suite Para Piano - but i've not been able to find it anywhere.

Oblivion does not have a solo piano score. All the others such as the Porteno series are very simple arrangements.

Daniel Baremboim brought out a fantastic CD of Piazzolla music and it is worth listening to and using some of his additions

hope this helps

Piazzolla was underrated.

How many people can write  strictly tonal and nondissonant fugues and make it sound completely different to JS. Bach?

Piazzolla did that in Fuga y Misterio and Fugata for instance.

I have tried to write fugues myself and they usually end up sounding like either dissonant crap or  JS. Bach (a lot worse then Bach obviously)
