First Milonga, Last Tango for Flute and Guitar

From the Publisher

Composer's Notes

'First Milonga, Last Tango is a pair of pieces for flute and guitar that pays hommage to Astor Piazzolla. First Milonga was written as an elegy in the week following Piazzolla's death in 1992; at bar 45, it refers directly to his Histoire du Tango. Last Tango, written ten years later, is the final piece in a series of tangos constructed using fragments of material from Piazzolla's St Louis en L'ile. Last Tango also draws on material by David Byrne.' - Stephen Goss
