Summary

Ignacio Varchausky examines tango music through its standard instrumental performance practices. He draws on the orchestral styles of two Golden Age orchestras, those of Juan D’Arienzo (1934–1975) and Aníbal Troilo (1937–1975), and illustrates with important archival recordings and scores from the tango repertory. He explains musical techniques and practices that may provide a listener with sounds of tango’s history, and how musically embodying the art form may advance one’s understanding of its culture.
