Work Overview
Although the melody of Tango Preludio is reminiscent of
Chopin's Prelude in E min (a tune which has served many a
composer well, including Antonio Carlos Jobim, who based his
How Insensitive on it), the treatment is undoubtedly
South American. One is tempted to compare it with Piazzolla's
work, and this would be correct to a point. But whilst the
rhythmic essence is pure Tango, the
inherent harmonic language is aligned with the more sophisticated
world of the impressionist composers, such as Debussy and Ravel.
