Argentinean tangos have their specific character, you can hear clearly how much Piazolla’s tangos differ from the classic Ballroom tango.
In this piece you immediately notice a characteristic difference with the standard tango and his friend the Habanera, the dotted eighth with sixteenth note figures are missing. You have to figure things out in the playing position game in order to perform the slide notes properly. Play them like glissando and take your time, an Argentine tango has no tight dance tempo and gives you some time to phrase.
