Hi, The Histoire de Tango is published for flute (or violin) and guitra and is widely played amongst mandolin players. Its tricky but very playable. Libertango is a great piece which is published in several formats including for flute and guitar - again transcribes very well direct from flute part for mandolin. There are probably quite a few other arrangements of some of his more famous pieces for either violin and guitar or flute and guitar which would be worth trying. There are also several arrangements of works for 2 guitars which would probably be playable with a bit of tweaking on mandolin and guitar. Duo Capriccioso recored the Tango suite (more commonly heard on 2 guitars) a while back.

Astor Piazzolla, Yo-Yo Ma - Soul of the Tango: The Music of Astor Piazzolla - Amazon.com Music. All our books are brand new. Not warm hearted Spanish guitar solos,interrupted by Tango dissonances as usual; but just.

If you like Piazzolla you should check out the Suite Buenos Aires by Pujol - again not originally got mandolin and guitar (for flute and guitar or perhaps violin I think) but works fantastically for mandolin and guitar. Hi there Try this as a resource for tango TodoTango (#There's 14 Piazzolla scores in the library section plus enough Tango material for you never to complete your way through the site. Navcoder keygen crack download. Transcriptions are strange beasties and I find that many that are scored for one instrument don't really transfer as well as they might.

My personal approach is to work out my own. #Start by listening to the piece with the score, work out for you what is the important part (and within the compass of your instrument, a bandoneon covers 5 octaves) and I then use a highlighter to mark those notes that I will play. #I have three on the go at the moment but I'm not yet fully happy with them (or I'm getting better on mando so can play more). #I will eventually post them but it may be a while as this is my busy season workwise. All the best Steve.

Working it out on my own is a torturous process for me - but it may be what I have to do. I just copied this history from a free reed web site. 'It was Piazzolla's dream to create a tango that would not only be dance music but concert music as well.

'For me,' Piazzolla said, 'the tango was always for the ear rather than the feet.' The results were as audacious and innovative as they were outrageous to prevailing trends. For in Argentina, you don't mess with the tango and go away unscathed.

As a beloved music that helped to define a largely immigrant people, to give them a newfound identity in rough times, messing with the tango was messing with the fledgling national character.' Seligman continued, 'So when Piazzolla returned to Buenos Aires from trips abroad, taxi drivers recognizing him through their rear-view mirrors would harangue him, while others pulling up to the curb pulled right back out again. Musicians even came to threaten his life. A few once waited for him outside his house to work him over.

One tango singer actually barged into a radio station where he was giving an interview and put a pistol to his head. 'I was taking the old tango away from them,' Piazzolla said.

'The old tango, the one they loved was dying. And they hated me.' But he took nothing away from them at all. By modernizing the form, by midwifing the birth of a far more profound music within the tango, Astor Piazzolla made it more eternal.' Piazzolla wrote over 750 compositions, including concerti, operas, film and theater scores, and made over seventy records. Not quite mandolin, but I believe one of the best pluckers of tango to be Victor Villadangos (#He also tends to favor dedicated repertoire over transcription, which, as I am an old fuddy-duddy, I admit appeals to me.
