20th Century. Piano reduction of a work originally for alto trombone & string quartet. "On a characteristic tango atmosphere, a melancholic and sensual melody opens the first piece. A simple and vibrant chant comes next, in a frame that's sometimes rarefied, sometimes passionate. The final piece is rhythmic and enthralling, with bright colors, curious effects and a slightly jazzed-flavor. A cocktail of passion, nostalgia and virtuosity that captures and amuses both the performers and the audience."-the publisher
