Argentine Tango, As Digested by a Classical Musician

Everything I learned about Argentine Tango - beyond Piazzolla - presented through the lens of a classical pianist/composer.

There is so much more to this genre than I had previously understood and assumed. The grounded rhythm, emotional contrast, and lyrical elements of Tango allured me into this study, and I did a deep-dive into the culture culture surrounding this music with the help of some Tango experts from Buenos Aires and around the world. As a tribute to this experience, I write my own tango - a piece for solo piano that blends elements of Tango with my own compositional voice.
