Recorded on, uploaded on Musician's or Publisher's Notes Tango Etudes No. 3 & 4 Astor Piazzolla (transcribed for solo cello by W. Law) About a year ago, I was asked by the American Creative Dance Company to come up with a few Tango pieces to collaborate with their Tango dancers.
I came across these etudes and fell in love with them. They were originally written for the flute, but I decided to transcribe them for the cello. Having always loved Tango dancing myself, and having enjoyed playing Tango music, this collaboration was a real treat. Astor Piazzolla (1921 - 1992) was an Argentine tango musician, bandoneon player, and composer. He is widely considered the most important tango musician of the second half of the Twentieth Century. His nuevo tango was distinct from traditional tango in its incorporation of elements of jazz.
In Milan, he explored various new techniques and developed his own individual style. Eager to deepen and consolidate his artistic conscience, he continued to study at the Academy of Fine Art of Brera (Milan), by enrolling once again to obtain a second Doctorate in Theoretical and Television Scenography. 
As guidance to the performer, Piazzolla wrote of these etudes, 'the performer should well exaggerate the accents and respirations, therefore inspiring of the way in which tangos are played on the bandoneon'. One wonders how to find 'respiration' in the sounds of a cello. The dancers later told me that they had been listening and dancing to the music breathe through the cello like a bandoneon.
Note Transcription for guitar by Manuel Barrueco Piazzolla wrote Tango-Etudes for solo flute without accompaniment. My objective when making these arrangements for solo guitar was to add all that to me seemed implied, whether voices, harmonies, or accompaniment figures, while trying to stay completely in style and hoping that everything would end up sounding as though it was written by Piazzolla himself. Manuel Barrueco Presse Masterful arrangement of modern tangos Such is their worth and popularity, Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla's six Tango Etudes, dating from 1987 and composed for solo flute or violin, can also be heard in many other guises: clarinet, saxophone and chamber orchestra, piano and saxophone, piano and clarinet, and guitar with various single instruments, to name few.

With this new publication, Manuel Barrueco once again reveals his great skill in arranging music originally written for other instruments and making it sound indigenous to the guitar. The brilliant harmonies and chord sequences he uses in these arrangements are completely convincing; the great man himself would, I am sure, approve wholeheartedly of Barrueco's handiwork. Heard in their original state on solo flute, they are strong, interesting, and engaging pieces; heard in solo guitar format they are, for my mind, even better. The music is a contrast of vivacious and spirited energy sitting alongside movements of deep, dark passion. As a suite, they would be a welcome addition to any recital, but be forewarned that they are highly virtuosic technically - not for the fainthearted (or limitedly skilled) player.
