Dies Lied ist mein Leben (piazzola)

Here's a haunting tango from Argentinian composer Astor Piazzola. The tango is still  an essential part of Argentina life, both as a dance, and an imbuement of reverence.

"There's a saying that tango is a 'sad thought danced.' But that's only part of it. It's touching the sadness in you, the pain, yes--but also the joy, the humor, the everything life has. It's touching everything.”― Jennifer Vandever

This video started out as a chord exercise in one of our piano lessons, but Miss T did so well on it, I couldn't resist the possibility of performing it on accordion with her on piano.  Appreciate her help and cooperation in making this video possible.  Can you believe she's been studying piano for less than a year?
