Basic musicality in Argentine tango



This is playlist analysis of my lecture "Basic musicality of argentine tango".
I used the album "Tango instrumental vol. 1" by Carlos Di Sarli which
you can buy here: Carlos Di Sarli - Instrumental vol. I
  1. Slower rhytmical songs - all songs have accentuated rhythm. These songs are divided into: completely rhythmical, rhythmical beginning and melodic beginning so we can notice nuances in the songs.
    a) completely rhythmical - strong rhythm by the bandoneon
       1. Don Juan
       2. Rodriguez Pena
       3. Cara Sucia
    b) rhythmical beginning - strong rhythm at the beginning, but we lose rhytm over some parts and only the melody is left
       1. A la gran muneca
       2. Cuidado con los 50
       3. El choclo
       4. El Once
    c) melodic beginning - tender rhytmical beginning that turns to melody very fast, later
      rhythmical parts come which are characteristic for this group
      1. Organito de la tarde
      2. El ingeneiro
      3. La Racha
      4. Germaine
  2. Songs with similar structure, but different feeling - All these songs have same rhythmical pattern and melodic parts. But while listening we can notice differences in expression of those elements
    a) Comme il faut
    b) Tinta verde
    c) El amanecer
  3. Songs with dominant melody - a little bit slower with plenty of melody done by the violin.
    a) Viviani
    b) Bahia blanca
