Just as the map is not the terrain, the score is not the music.>> I heard an interesting story told to me years ago in Club Almagro by a tango musician. Supposedly, there was a bandoneonist who played for years with Juan D'Arienzo. Later he went to play with Osvaldo Pugliese. He went home frustrated after performances and played chan-chan continuously on his instrument to get it out of his system. Why? Those last two notes are played softly with Pugliese whereas they are very strong with D'Arienzo. Todotango.com has scores of tango music. [See Library, select scores, and then alphabetical listing.] The recordings may not have included a chan chan at the end, but the sheet music of Verdemar has it written. It is the only one of the four examples mentioned above which are included among the scores on Todotango. I have the sheet music for Cada Dia Te Extrano Mas published by Editorial Musical Korn; music by Armando Pontier with lyrics by Carlos Bahr. It has the chan chan written in the original score. That makes it tango in my book. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
