A stunning sampler of romantic piano solos from the early days of the tango. Here is the first extensive collection of early tango music ever published outside of Argentina. This anthology presents 42 facsimile piano scores in a wide range of tango styles found in 19th century Argentina and Uruguay. Selections include classics by Argentina's and Uruguay's most famous guardia vieja (old guard) composers, written druring the tango's formative years between 1900 and 1920. Many off these pieces evoke musical parallels with American piano rags of the same era. These wonderful early tangos embody the full emotional depth and rhythmic complexity of this fascinating genre, yet are accessible to players of varied abilities.
The tangos in this collection are not traditional Argentinean dance pieces, but rather instrumental pieces written specifically for the piano. Included are delightful pieces by composers Isaac Albéniz, Ernesto Nazareth, Manuel Ponce, Joaquín Turina and others. The selections range in difficulty from intermediate to moderately difficult.

"By studying and analyzing the extensive Argentine piano repertoire, this work aims to provide valuable information and insights into the history of incorporating and using the piano in Argentine folkloric music. This paper intends to identify the pioneers who started using the piano to compose and interpret traditional folk tunes and accompany dances and songs. There are two main areas of study; the first one, referred to as Folkloric Music, involves repertoire originating in the countryside, derived from traditional dances and folkloric compositions, and influenced by pre-Columbian, Colonial, and African cultures. The second area of study is the cosmopolitan genre known as Tango, which has a deep connection to the second wave of European immigration and a style of music that flourished in the large metropolitan areas of Buenos Aires during the early 1900s and that subsequently flourished in the old continent by 1935, taking a global dimension by 1980. In addition, the research proposes to identify the different levels of difficulty of such a repertoire with the intent to classify its value as potential pedagogical materials for music programs worldwide. Finally, the project also attempts to spotlight under-represented composers from the past and the present whose works have been overlooked by the mainstream music scene to include and perform such a repertoire, thus developing an appreciation for a multicultural music scene."--
