	ASTOR PIAZZOLLA 20 DE SES PLUS GRANDS TANGOS No2 Sheet-book orchestrations 20 more compositions by Astor Piazzolla, which show you hohis style of composition developed over the years. Whereas in “Se Armo”, “Villeguita”, and “El Desbande” we can still detect the influence of the traditional tango.. “Nuevo Mundo”, “El Mundo de Los Dos”, and “Made in USA” are determinedly new and different. The melodies of “Rosa Rio” and “Apuro” inspired somebody to write words to them. “Sens Unique” is a composition featuring two themes which seem to go in the same direction, despite the fact that one is syncopated and the other smooth and sweeping, hence the title which Astor Piazzolla gave it.
	ASTOR PIAZZOLLA 4 Tangos (piano/violon) Sheet-book piano violin This version for piano and violin of four of Astor Piazzolla’s best-known pieces is mainly taken from his quintet arrangements and available recordings. When you listen to his records, you notice that the interpretation changes a little each time, with new ornaments, variations, changes in tempo and improvisations. There are two terms used in this album for the violin technique: Tambour: a pizzicato sound which is reminiscent of the sound of a small drum. Chicharra: the sound produced by bowing on the second string behind the bridge.
