Published by The Composer's Own Press (A0.944075). Composer's notes: I have always been fascinated by music that lives on the boundary between popular and highbrow, and Argentinian Tango falls right into this category. I wrote Tango for the Road in the summer of 2015, following an earlier tango in my Odessa Trio, titled Tango Dorfman. The genre has a number of well-defined musical characteristics, often opposing one another: it is rhythmically strict and precise, yet warm and sentimental; it carries melodious tunes accompanied by soft chromaticism and elegance, yet it conceals tremendous spark and inner-power; being a partner dance, it sometimes displays a Leader/Follower relationship and other times an equal vigor and energy between the partners.
