Piazzolaberintus - demo by Liliflute Music

This Sonata explores three different styles and moods within the broad spectrum of modern tango, but reaches out beyond the usual gestures of the genre, always in a rhythmic and even choreographic spirit.The title of the first movement, “Caceroleando,” refers to the pot-banging street demonstrations that took place in Argentina during the 2002 banking crisis and to the huge street protests that took place in Venezuela that same year. The intensity of this piece is a musical representation of this collective energy, deeply connected to a tragic, powerfully stirring aspect of tango. “Piazzolaberintus,” the second movemente, evokes the drifting, expressive laments of Piazzolla’s slow pieces, but the phrases are like broken trajectories in a labyrinth - sudden cuts and shifts in the discourse that seek in vain to escape the repetition of patterns. The final movement, “Rallentango Milonga,” is a sort of country dance. The milonga is an ancestor of the urban forms of tango, an Afro-Uruguayan form also present in Brazilian music under other names. This piece stresses the rhythmic profile of the genre, pushing it to extremes of rhythmic saturation and delirious dancing intensity. The coda brings the mood back to the relaxed level of the previous movement.
