Celebratory in tone, the piano sets the mood from the word go. The driving tango rhythm must be relentless throughout, apart from the brief middle section ( bars 40 - 56 ) where a more lyrical approach is required. Even here, the strict Latin tempo should never waver.
Currently, there are three versions of this piece : a tenor saxophone/piano arrangement performed by Matt London and Geoff Eales on Matt's CD "Speak Now", the flute & piano version recorded by Andy Findon and Geoff Eales on the CD "The Dancing Flute" (Nimbus Alliance NI 6216), and a flute, horn and piano setting by the ELF Trio featuring Geoff, Dave Lee and Andy Findon
