Music Sample: Collision Tango




Collision Tango is a fun and feisty piece, which unashamedly embraces many elements of the Nuevo Tango, as developed by Astor Piazzolla. Repeated melodic themes, chromatic modulations, strong rhythms and a contemplative interlude are featured, as the two pianos alternately converge, combat and compliment each other. The short coda harks back to many of the earlier themes in a luscious jumble, before an abrupt ending. This performance was played by David Wickham and Fay Gao.
