🇷🇺Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky ： Tango

Built on the clear pulse of a tango, this piece makes a strong impression through sharp accents, syncopation, and short, incisive gestures. Fragments of melody intersect with accompanying rhythms, while changes in texture and dynamics provide further points of interest. The music progresses through sections of contrasting character, so it is important to distinguish their individual expressions. In performance, avoid dragging the beat, keep the rhythms—including the rests—precise, and make the placement of accents clear. Let the right hand sing while retaining a dry character, and keep the left hand balanced and light; this brings out the dance-like tension of the music.
