Actually, Al and I heard Piazzolla make this statement at a lecture he gave in San Francisco on his second and last visit to this city. As I recall his exact words were "My music is not for dancing". I can't give the precise date (or year) without research but another friend, John Rolleri, was also in the audience. At that time many dancers were already using his music (played by other orchestras) for dancing in performance. However I still haven't heard Piazzolla played at traditional milongas.
This is fact, not necessarily my opinion :-) Barbara, in SF temporarily > >When exactly did Piazzolla say that he "did not compose music for >dancing"? I'd love to see the actual quote, particularly in context. > > > _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
