Short Piece with Tango Inside

Short Piece with Tango Inside

David Rubinstein

for orchestra: 2222, 4221, timp, 1 perc, harp, strings

Composed in 2000.
4 minutes.

This is one of five pieces from the collection of piano pieces entitled Curious Assortment, which are a kind of program music, meant to represent the peculiarity of the subconscious world rather than reality. The pieces are in the process of being orchestrated. Short Piece with Tango Inside, reminiscent of Chabrier and Rossini, begins with short, conversational motifs against an ostinato accompaniment. A tango inexplicably appears on the scene and promptly departs as the opening ostinato reappears. It is up to the listener to decide the raison d’etre of this tango. It was premiered by the composer as a solo piano work at the Donald Wright Auditorium, Pasadena, California on April 12, 1999.
