Re: Week 1
@Eric Phillips Thanks, Eric. Yes, Agustin was Abel's older brother by a few years. Agustin was an architect by profession but also an accomplished guitarist and arranger of Tangos.

@matt Nicely played. Tristan sounds like it was inspired by Piazzolla. Also, liked hearing that candombe rhythm in the first piece.
