Piazzolla Oblivion Imslp [updated]

The title Oblivion (Spanish: Olvido ) is fitting. The music does not portray the energetic forgetting of a fiesta, but rather the slow, melancholy erosion of memory. Unlike Piazzolla’s earlier works, which sought to modernize Buenos Aires, Oblivion looks backward. It evokes the barrios (neighborhoods) of the past, utilizing a harmonic language that recalls the "Guardia Vieja" (Old Guard) era of tango, yet filtered through Piazzolla’s sophisticated, classically trained ear.

Piazzolla’s music is protected in the US (until 2087) and EU (until 2062). You can use IMSLP to study the work information and find legal purchase links, not necessarily to print. piazzolla oblivion imslp
