Histoire du Tango is one of the most famous compositions by tango composer Ástor Piazzolla, originally written for flute and guitar in 1986. It is often played with different combinations, including violin substituted for the flute, and also harp or marimba substituted for the guitar. It was Piazzolla’s life work to bring the tango from the bordellos and dance halls of Argentina into the concert halls of Europe and America. – Kevin Loh Facebook – Chloe Chua Website
