A tribute to tango: Adiós Nonino

by | Dec 1, 2024 | Piano | 0 comments

Few compositions resonate as deeply with me as “Adiós Nonino” by Astor Piazzolla. This iconic piece, a cornerstone of the Nuevo Tango movement, is one I have always cherished playing, both for its intricate beauty and its emotional depth.

Performing “Adiós Nonino” is a journey through Piazzolla’s genius, its melancholic melodies, dynamic contrasts, and evocative harmonies paint a vivid picture of loss and remembrance. Every time I sit at the piano to play it, I feel a profound connection to the story it tells and to the rich heritage of tango music it represents.

This particular recording is my interpretation of a piece that never fails to inspire me. I hope it brings to you the same sense of emotion and artistry that it evokes in me.
