Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest 🌪️🎶
@Barney Thanks. Yes, a nice simple piece but fun to play. Check out my latest post, Milonga Oriental, which is a bit more challenging both in its rhythm and harmonic dissonance.

@don Thanks. I think that Carlevaro used a pseudonym, first as joke (he had a great sense of humor) and second, he did not want to be known as a folklorist.

For my last piece for this challenge, I am posting another Abel Carlevaro dance composition, entitled "Milonga Oriental." This piece was written in the 1960s and was included in his Vincente Vallegos…

Re: Week 3: Waltzes and Whirls 💃🎵
@Steve Pederson Thanks. Funny you say that about the "Entertainer." I am working on another early Carlevaro piece that reminds me of Scott Joplin. Hope to post next week.

@Steve Pederson Nice job with these two dances. Really liked both pieces but tend towards the Italian Dance. Like your use of dynamics and great tone!

Here is an early composition by Abel Carlevaro, most likely written in the early 1960s. It is based on the rhythm of the milonga dance, famous in the Rio de la Plata region and is called Milongueando…
