This
volume is a compilation of tangos and the related dance forms of the milonga and
habanera, originally written for the guitar, or transcribed for the instrument
by guitarists who were active in Buenos Aires during the early decades of the
twentieth century. The majority of the tangos included here belong to the Guardia
Vieja era or are styled after them, as in the original tangos by Julio
Sagreras and Justo Morales. These transcriptions and
original compositions were mainly addressed to middle class guitar amateurs.
Some of the pieces are technically accessible, clearly aimed at the student or
beginner level, while others are more demanding, requiring an intermediate to
advanced proficiency. Most of pieces in this volume are for guitar solo, with
two pieces for a guitar duo, paginated comfortably to allow for direct reading
by two guitarists. Even with the passage of time, the distinction of the
tango’s heritage can provide diversion and delight whether played for one’s
own enjoyment or for the entertainment of others.
