I. Sofferto

II. Sentimentale

III. Con fervore

  

 

The tango experts say, that one of the main factors of why the tango is so: the absence. The lack of somebody or something dear causes a strong feeling of emptiness that we do not know to overwhelm: the «añoranza» nostalgia»).

 

This work presents three different visions so that together they compose another one of my works of my project «cultured tango». The first of the collection it is embroidered of melodical lines that follow one another and superpose with absence nostalgia, almost like sighing.

 

The second already it gives an indication of the presence of a rate on which melodía in tempo sings one very rubato like being wanted to free of the rigidity of the rythmical figuration that accompanies it. Written in dance form, with two periods that are repeated, this piece disappears suddenly leaving one slight suggestion us.

In the third and last Añoranza, the tango speaks by the absence of more desperate, frenetic and impetuous way. The determined and marked rate does of the this last most representative piece of the «tanguistic» genre: only the brief and sweet central section resists with the impulses and irruentes rythmical sequences of the fervent tango. A trembling tragedy closes this work that it wants, like the other that I conceived in this style, to capture the essence of the tango to integrate it with the rest of the national schools.
