Ezra Brunelli - Our Last Dance

Organum

"Danzarín" by Julián Plaza is undoubtly part of the unspoken "canon" of sacred pieces of the tango world. Here we listen Juan María Solare's version for solo piano.

Every composer has a signature piece, not necessarily his best, which defines his style, his intimacy. Danzarín (Little Dancer) is thus a concentration of Julián Plaza's artistic personality. The first theme, a rhythm injection, builds on a pianistic device called "campanitas" or little bells: rhythmed dissonances in the high register. Typical of this composer is a second theme cantabile in the cello register. (From the liner notes of Solare's CD "Tango Monologues", http://www.juanmariasolare.com/CD_tango_monologues.html)

This track was recorded on an old upright piano. It includes lots of the piano mechanical sounds, like pedals, hammers, dampers moving & the piano stool creaking. There are also a few mistakes in this one pass improvisation, but I have left them in the final track, to capture what was, a moment in time, between me & the instrument.
