"Astor Piazzolla, der Vater des Neuen Tangos" im Akkordeonmuseum Castelfidardo - Italienby Accordions Worldwide |
 |
 Paolo Picchio (Bild links) und das Buch Astor Piazzolla, der Vater des Nuevo Tango (Edizioni Curci - Bild oben) werden am Sonntag, den 15. Mai 2022 um 18.30 Uhr im Akkordeonmuseum Castelfidardo in Ancona, Italien, die Hauptakteure sein.Der Musikwissenschaftler, Akkordeonist und Komponist Picchio wird den Band vorstellen, in dem er die biografischen und künstlerischen Ereignisse des brillanten argentinischen Komponisten und Bandoneonisten (Mar del Plata, 11. März 1921 - Buenos Aires, 4. Juli 1992) von seinen Anfängen bis zu seiner weltweiten Popularität nachzeichnet. Vorwort von Laura Escalada Piazzolla und Daniel Villaflor Piazzolla. Die Veranstaltung wird durch die musikalischen Beiträge von Cristiano Lui (Bandoneon), Annalisa Biancofiore (Gesang) und Giorgio Fiori (Cello) bereichert. "Eine unverzichtbare Gelegenheit, die Geschichte und die Musik von Astor Piazzolla in einem renommierten Museum zu erleben, in dem die Originalpartituren und das Bandoneon des Künstlers aufbewahrt werden. Bei dieser Gelegenheit wird dieses wertvolle und ikonische Musikinstrument wieder in die Vitrine gestellt". Piazzolla hat mit seiner Mischung aus Tango, Jazz und Klassik den so genannten Nuevo Tango ins Leben gerufen: Er wurde von argentinischen Puristen scharf kritisiert - sie nannten ihn "den Mörder des Tangos" -, aber in Wahrheit hat er sich reformiert, regeneriert und sublimiert. Das Buch folgt einer präzisen und detaillierten Chronologie und schlägt vor, die wichtigsten Werke jeder Phase seiner Karriere zu hören: die Überschneidungen zwischen den Genres, die Zusammenarbeit mit den Protagonisten des Jazz, die Kinoproduktionen, die Konzertmusik, das Lied, die Poesie und den Tanz. Die Diskussion wird von einer fundierten und vollständigen Diskographie begleitet, in der Piazzolla sowohl als Komponist als auch als Interpret auftritt. Paolo Picchio hat in der ganzen Welt Vorträge über das Akkordeon und sein Repertoire gehalten und veröffentlicht regelmäßig Essays und Artikel in Fachzeitschriften und auf Websites.
