Tango Dramatico

Catherine Rollin

Late Elementary Piano Solo

All of the energy of a tango is expressed in this rhythmic solo written in 4/4 meter. It is an excellent study of i and V7 chords in E minor. Both of these chords are used in block and broken style. The use of melodic and rhythmic patterns throughout will aid in learning and memorizing this crowd-pleasing piece. Students will enjoy the drama of tango style and will be inspired to play with a big, bold sound. A Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selection.
