is in Spanish.Piazzolla with his bandoneon in 1971.His oeuvre revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed nuevo tango, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music.He is therefore widely considered the most important tango composer of the latter half of the twentieth century.Biography
Piazzolla was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina in 1921 to Italian parents, Vicente Piazzolla and Asunta Manetti.Piazzolla spent most of his childhood with his family in New York City, where he was exposed to both jazz and the music of J.While there, he acquired fluency in four languages: Spanish, English, French, and Italian.He began to play the bandoneon after his father, nostalgic for his homeland, spotted one in a New York pawn shop.At the age of 13, he met Carlos Gardel, another great figure of tango, who invited the young prodigy to join him on his current tour.Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera.And stopped, with a big period, round like a soccer ball.Night club, mais oui, but that is a cabaret, isn't it?Then she will throw me from the fourth floor.And I took all the music I composed, ten years of my life, and sent it to hell in two seconds.Piazzolla returned from New York to Argentina in 1955, formed the Octeto Buenos Aires to play tangos, and never looked back.Upon introducing his new approach to the tango (nuevo tango), he became a controversial figure among Argentines both musically and politically.However, his music gained acceptance in Europe and North America, and his reworking of the tango was embraced by some liberal segments of Argentine society, who were pushing for political changes in parallel to his musical revolution.During the period of Argentine military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983, Piazzolla lived in Italy, but returned many times to Argentina, recorded there, and on at least one occasion had lunch with the dictator Jorge Rafael Videla.However, his relationship with the dictator might have been less than friendly, as recounted in Astor Piazzolla, A manera de Memorias (a comprehensive collection of interviews, constituting a memoir):
One year before the Los Largartos issue you went to Videla's house and had lunch with him, why did you accept that invitation?They sent a couple of guys in black suits and a letter with my name on it that said that Videla expected me a particular day in a particular place.Astor Piazzolla, A manera de Memorias, Libros Perfil 1998, ISBN 9500809206, p.In 1990 he suffered thrombosis in Paris, and died two years later in Buenos Aires.Among his followers, his own protege Marcelo Nisinman is the best known innovator of the tango music of the new millennium, while Pablo Ziegler, pianist with Piazzolla's second quintet, has assumed the role of principal custodian of nuevo tango, extending the jazz influence in the style.Piazzolla's nuevo tango was distinct from the traditional tango in its incorporation of elements of jazz, its use of extended harmonies and dissonance, its use of counterpoint, and its ventures into extended compositional forms.It is precisely this success, and individuality, that makes it hard to pin down where particular influences reside in his compositions, but some aspects are clear.The use of the passacaglia technique of a circulating bass line and harmonic sequence, invented and much used in 17th and 18th century baroque music but also central to the idea of jazz "changes", predominates in most of Piazzolla's mature compositions.Another clear reference to the baroque is the often complex and virtuosic counterpoint that sometimes follows strict fugal behavior but more often simply allows each performer in the group to assert his voice.Pablo Ziegler has been particularly responsible for developing this aspect of the style both within Piazzolla's groups and since the composer's death.The piano tends to be used throughout as a percussive rhythmic backbone, while the electric guitar either joins in this role or spins filigree improvisations; the double bass parts are usually of little interest, but provide an indispensable rugged thickness to the sound of the ensemble.The quintet of bandoneon, violin, piano, electric guitar and double bass was Piazzolla's preferred setup on two extended occasions during his career, and most critics consider it to be the most successful instrumentation for his works.Musical career
Piazzolla, after leaving Troilo's orchestra in the 1940s, led numerous ensembles beginning with the 1946 Orchestra, the 1955 "Octeto Buenos Aires", the 1960 "First Quintet", the 1971 "Noneto", the 1978 "Second Quintet" and the 1989 "Sextet".He also recorded the album Summit with jazz baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan.Nonino (dedicated to his father) which he recorded many times with different musicians and ensembles.Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Leo Brouwer.Buenos Aires: Corregidor, 1997.Argentina (currently out of print).See Azzi and Collier, Le Grand Tango: The Life and Music of Astor Piazzolla, Oxford University Press, 2000.Libertango Played by Astorpia Tango Quintet.See Copyrights for details.Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.Get the latest Flash player.This video has been added to your favorites.The video has been added to your playlist.This video will appear on your blog shortly.Thank you for sharing your concerns.Thank you for flagging this video.Content of this nature is not necessarily prohibited on YouTube, however we will review this video and take action as appropriate.Per our Community Guidelines, hate speech is specifically defined in reference to "protected groups."Thank you for sharing your concerns.We can only process copyright complaints submitted by authorized parties in accordance with processes defined in law.There may be significant legal penalties for false notices.Thank you for sharing your concerns.Change this to see only comments above a certain value.Change the value of a comment by clicking on a thumb.To say 'It is beautiful' means to say nothing...Thank you from my heart.....Would you like to comment?The original video of Libertango by Astor Piazz...The original video of Libertango by Astor Piazzolla.After making your selection, copy and paste the embed code above.The code changes based on your selection.Get the latest Flash player.The video has been added to your playlist.Thank you for sharing your concerns.There may be significant legal penalties for false notices.Thank you for sharing your concerns.In order to process a privacy complaint we need more information from you.Please refer to our Help Center for more information and the form to submit.Thank you for sharing this video!Change the value of a comment by clicking on a thumb.Piazzolla me hace acordar a Buenos Aires, a mi padre, a mi pais.Bela Bartok, y Duke Ellington, como de gardel con el q toco a los 5 anios de edad.Nada mais argentino, mais frances, mais mundo inteiro.Piazzolla se tornou mais conhecido no Brasil durante os anos de ditadura.Soava como parte da bagagem dos expatriados.After making your selection, copy and paste the embed code above.The code changes based on your selection.Bandoneonist, pianist, leader, composer and arranger.Astor wanted to include the tango with lyrics in his innovative proposal."Escualo", among other numbers.New York's Central Park was committed to record.Astor was only three years old.He listened to Cab Calloway
