Description
This delightful novelty piece was composed in 1976. The music is a humorous parody of the traditional tango. The usual clichés are exploited, but there are numerous rhythmic aberrations caused by unexpected meter changes. Like many lightweight fun pieces, it is challenging, more so than an audience might believe. The top pitch is Eb5.
