Ástor Piazzolla (1921-1992)
Doble Concierto para bandoneón, guitarra y orquesta de cuerdas (Hommage a Liege)

He wrote this concerto for the Fifth International Guitar Festival, which was held in Liège, Belgium, in 1985. Piazzolla wrote the work for guitarist Cacho Tirao and for bandoneón and played that instrument at its premiere with Tirao and the Liège Philharmonic, conducted by Leo Brouwer (himself a master composer for guitar). The opening movement is marked Introduction Lentamente. This section is for the two solo instruments only. It is a piece clearly about loneliness and longing. The absence of the orchestra facilitates the piece being written in a free, seemingly unmeasured rhythm, allowing the soloists to create the impression of an improvised movement.
