Monologos
When he was seventeen, Piazzolla heard a tango group and immediately fell in love with the music. He served periods of apprenticeship with Anibal Troilo, Alberto Ginastera, and with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Having absorbed jazz elements from New York’s musical scene, Piazzolla set out to synthesize the traditional with the avant-garde. Like Chopin in the nineteenth century, Piazzolla found the medium for his harmonic innovations in an older, formalized dance. He created a new form by introducing chromaticism and dissonance to the tango.
