W11 and W12 require a command of the techniques from W7 to W10.
Osvaldo Pugliese
1905–1995 · piano
The dramatic pulse. “La Yumba” as his trademark — heavy, earthy, with pauses that let the dance breathe.
Aníbal Troilo
1914–1975 · bandoneon
“Pichuco” — the singing bandoneon. Lyrical and danceable at once; the young Piazzolla played in his orchestra.
Carlos Di Sarli
1903–1960 · piano
“El Señor del Tango”. Elegance and an even flow carried by the strings — the bandoneon deliberately steps back.
Alfredo Gobbi
1912–1965 · violin
“El violín romántico del tango”. Angular phrasing and surprising turns — an orchestra for attentive ears.
