Adios Nonino by Astor Piazzolla

Biografie van de kunstenaar Astor Piazzolla

Astor Piazzolla March 11 1921 – July 4 1992 Was An Argentine Tango Composer And Bandoneón Player. His Oeuvre Revolutionized The Traditional Tango Into A New Style Termed Nuevo Tango Incorporating Elements From Jazz And Classical Music. An Excellent Bandoneonist He Regularly Performed His Own Compositions With Different Ensembles. He Is Known In His Native Land As "El Gran Astor" "The Great Astor" . Ástor Pantaleón Piazzolla Was Born In Mar Del Plata Argentina In 1921 To Immigrant Italian Parents Piazzolla Spent Most Of His Childhood With His Family In New York City. While There He Acquired Fluency In Four Languages Spanish English French And Italian. He Also Started Playing The Bandoneon Quickly Rising To The Status Of Child Prodigy. While Still Quite Young He Met Carlos Gardel Another Great Figure Of Argentine Tango. He Returned To Argentina In 1937 Where Strictly Traditional Tango Still Reigned And Played In Night Clubs With A Series Of Groups. The Pianist Arthur Rubinstein Then Living In Buenos Aires Advised Him To Study With The Argentine Composer Alberto Ginastera. Delving Into Scores Of Stravinsky Bartók Ravel And Others He Gave Up Tango Temporarily And Worked As A Modernist Classical Composer. At Ginastera's Urging In 1953 Piazzolla Entered His "Buenos Aires" Symphony In A Composition Contest And Won A Grant From The French Government To Study In Paris With The French Composer And Conductor Nadia Boulanger. The Insightful Boulanger Turned His Life Around In A Day As Piazzolla Tells Beautifully In His Own Words "When I Met Her I Showed Her My Kilos Of Symphonies And Sonatas. She Started To Read Them And Suddenly Came Out With A Horrible Sentence ‘It's Very Well Written.’ And Stopped With A Big Period Round Like A Soccer Ball. After A Long While She Said “Here You Are Like Stravinsky Like Bartók Like Ravel But You Know What Happens? I Can't Find Piazzolla In This.” And She Began To Investigate My Private Life What I Did What I Did And Did Not Play If I Was Single Married Or Living With Someone She Was Like An FBI Agent! And I Was Very Ashamed To Tell Her That I Was A Tango Musician. Finally I Said “I Play In A ‘night Club.’” I Didn't Want To Say “cabaret.” And She Answered “Night Club Mais Oui But That Is A Cabaret Isn't It?” “Yes ” I Answered And Thought “I'll Hit This Woman In The Head With A Radio....” It Wasn't Easy To Lie To Her. She Kept Asking “You Say That You Are Not Pianist. What Instrument Do You Play Then?” And I Didn't Want To Tell Her That I Was A Bandoneon Player Because I Thought “Then She Will Throw Me From The Fourth Floor.” Finally I Confessed And She Asked Me To Play Some Bars Of A Tango Of My Own. She Suddenly Opened Her Eyes Took My Hand And Told Me “You Idiot That's Piazzolla!” And I Took All The Music I Composed Ten Years Of My Life And Sent It To Hell In Two Seconds." Piazzolla Returned To Argentina In 1955 Formed The Octeto Buenos Aires To Play Tangos And Never Looked Back. Upon Introducing His New Approach To The Tango Nuevo Tango He Became A Controversial Figure Among Argentines Both Musically And Politically. The Argentine Saying "in Argentina Everything May Change — Except The Tango" Suggests Some Of The Resistance He Found In His Native Land. However His Music Gained Acceptance In Europe And North America And His Reworking Of The Tango Was Embraced By Some Liberal Segments Of Argentine Society Who Were Pushing For Political Changes In Parallel To His Musical Revolution. During The Period Of Argentine Military Dictatorship From 1976 To 1983 Piazzolla Lived In France But Returned Many Times To Argentina Recorded There And On At Least One Occasion Had Lunch With The Dictator Jorge Rafael Videla. However His Relationship With The Dictator Might Have Been Less Than Friendly As Recounted In Astor Piazzolla A Manera De Memorias A Comprehensive Collection Of Interviews Constituting A Memoir In 1990 He Suffered A Thrombosis In Paris And He Passed Away Two Years Later In Buenos Aires. Piazzolla's Nuevo Tango Was Distinct From The Traditional Tango In Its Incorporation Of Elements Of Jazz Its Use Of Extended Harmonies And Dissonance Its Use Of Counterpoint And Its Ventures Into Extended Compositional Forms. Piazzolla Also Introduced New Instruments That Were Not Used In The Traditional Tango Including The Flute Saxophone Electric Guitar Electronic Instruments And A Full Jazz/rock Drum Kit. Piazzolla Played With Numerous Ensembles Beginning With The 1946 Orchestra The 1955 "Octeto Buenos Aires" The 1960 "First Quintet" The 1971 "Noneto" The 1978 "Second Quintet" And The 1989 "Sextet". As Well As Providing Original Compositions And Arrangements He Was The Director And Bandoneon Player In All Of Them. He Also Recorded An Album With Jazz Sax Player Gerry Mulligan. His Numerous Compositions Include Orchestral Work Such As The "Concierto Para Bandoneón Orquesta Cuerdas Y Percusión" "Doble-Concierto Para Bandoneón Y Guitarra" "Tres Tangos Sinfónicos" And "Concierto De Nácar Para 9 Tanguistas Y Orquesta" As Well As Song-Form Compositions That Still Today Are Well Known By The General Public In His Country Like "Balada Para Un Loco" Ballad For A Madman And "Adiós Nonino" Dedicated To His Father Which He Recorded Many Times With Different Musicians And Ensembles. Biographers Estimate That Piazzolla Wrote Around 3 000 Pieces And Recorded Around 500. He Suffered A Cerebral Haemorrhage In Paris On 4 August 1990 Which Left Him In A Coma And Died In Buenos Aires Just Under Two Years Later On 4 July 1992 Without Regaining Consciousness.
