 The video of this very popular sheet music Libertango composed by Astor Piazzolla, arranged by Ivano Battiston has been updated.An extremely popular arrangement by Ivano Battiston Catalog: battiston101 7 Euro eSheet, sent to you by email about which Battiston writes: My Libertango arrangement wants to have the features of a concert piece. The accordion is used in many of its expressive and virtuous possibilities and this arrangement is also rich in quotes from Piazzolla himself (Adios Nonino, Que Vendré, Escualo, Angel's Muerte). |
