Confluencia
Astor Piazzolla Argentina 1921-1992
“I would be offended if they said that my music is light, trivial. My music is a chamber music that comes from the tango... well, there are a lot of ways to define it. If I were a composer ofcontemporary music, I couldn’t use tango for making the music I make. I can goto a poly-rhythm, to bitonal or tritonal chords, but I can’t go beyond, because I must keep some swing, some sense of rhythm at the base. Then, in the ‘upper’, I adorn it with music. My“audacity”isin the harmony, in the rhythms, in the counter-tempi, in the beautiful counterpoint that two or three instruments can make... And you don’t always have to make it tonal, you can goto atonality also. (From an interview to Gonzalo Saavedra in Santiago July, 1989)
