Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1458777 Composed by Greg Woodward. 21st Century,Baroque,Contemporary,Jazz,Multicultural,World. Score. 3 pages. Greg Woodward #1037712. Published by Greg Woodward (A0.1458777). Tango for Glenn is a tribute to Glenn Gould, whose particular way of playing Bach on piano was so influential in its day. However, it's very much a joyful romp through a range of styles.The main theme is in 5/4 and it moves through a range of - mostly - irregular time-signatures, but uses a harmonic and melodic vocabluary strongly influenced by Bach, with lashings of some more jazzy language. There is a brief (two beat long) quote of Paul McCartney's song Blackbird used as thematic material in the second episode, the guitar part of which was also based on a piece by Bach. This would make a fun concert or encore piece.Thanks to wonderful local pianist Karen Smithies for the performance.Visit my YouTube page for more performances, arrangements and compositions.
