Adios Nonino by Astor Piazzolla - arranged and performed by Jerry Weir

Jerry Weir 30 March 2024
Adios Nonino is Astor Piazzolla’s most famous composition. In an interview with Natalio Gorin, Piazzolla stated “The number one piece is Adios Nonino.” “Nonino” was Piazzolla’s name for his father - Vicente Piazzolla. Adios Nonino was written by Piazzolla in one sitting the night he returned to New York and learned that his father had died. Knowing this will give you insight to your performance of this piece.

Tango Final by Astor Piazzolla - arranged and performed by Jerry Weir

Jerry Weir 30 March 2024
Tango Final is a less well-known Piazzolla composition that was used in the French film Famille d’Artistes. For the soundtrack of this 1989 movie, the piece was performed by a trio led by accordionist Richard Galliano. My arrangement of Tango Final is the least challenging of the pieces in this collection but fun to play and very romantico.

Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla - arranged and performed by Jerry Weir

Jerry Weir 30 March 2024
A beautiful piece that has been used many times by figure skaters in the Olympics. It is one of Piazzolla’s most popular and haunting pieces. Piazzolla’s recording with full orchestra is the source for my arrangement. Oblivion should flow gently without becom­ing bogged down. Be expressive and romantic.

Etude With A Groove

tonymiceli 26 March 2024

I made this with a bass and percussion. I think it's 'groovy'. 
 

It's focusing on one chord, and that's C7. Check it out and Try and play it. I have the groove at 2 tempos a slow one and a faster one. 

And then.... a slow one in F in case any of you guys want to try and transpose it. To the first person, who makes a video of them playing it in C and F, I'll give to free lessons. OFF EXPIRES JULY 1 2024
