Astor Pantaleón Piazzolla (Mar
del Plata, 11 de março de 1921 – Buenos
Aires, 4
de julho de 1992),
filho dos imigrantes italianos Vicente Piazzolla e Asunta Manetti, foi um bandoneonista
e compositor
argentino.
The Cuatro
Estaciones Porteñas, also known as the Estaciones Porteñas or The Four Seasons
of Buenos Aires, are a set of four tango compositions written by Ástor
Piazzolla, which were originally conceived and treated
as different compositions rather than one suite, although Piazzolla performed
them together from time to time. The pieces were scored for his quintet of
violin (viola), piano, electric guitar, double bass and bandoneón.
By giving the adjective porteño,
referring to those born in Buenos
Aires, the Argentine capital city, Piazzolla gives an impression of the four seasons in
Buenos Aires.
The Seasons
Verano Porteño (Buenos
Aires Summer) written in 1965, originally as incidental music for the play
'Melenita de Oro' by Alberto Rodríguez Muñoz.
Otoño
Porteño (Buenos Aires Autumn) written in 1969.
Primavera
Porteña (Buenos Aires Spring) written in 1970, contains counterpoint.
Invierno
Porteño (Buenos Aires Winter) written in 1970.
In
1996-1998, the Russian composer Leonid
Desyatnikov had a new arrangement of the above
four pieces with more obvious link between Vivaldi and Piazzolla, by converting
each of pieces into three-section pieces, and re-arranging for solo violin and
string orchestra. In each piece he included several quotations from original
Vivaldi's work but due to seasons being inverted between northern and southern
hemispheres, thus, for example, Verano Porteño had added elements of L'inverno (Winter)
of Vivaldi.
