ABOUT ASTOR PIAZZOLLA "OBLIVION"

Astor Piazzolla's Oblivion was composed in 1982 as a chamber ensemble. 
This piece was one of Astor Piazzolla's most famous Tangos, 
and it became mostly popular when it was released 
on the soundtrack of Marco Bellochio's film Henry IV, the Mad King. 

It's one of the most famous Tango work ever done by Astor Piazzolla, and remains one of his best. 
It's a wonderful Tango that inspires many people, 
and is full of strong emotion and beautiful melodies. 
It's the elegance and inspiration all wrapped up into beautiful movements.

The melody is extremely melancholic and almost depressing. 
With long notes and beautiful, alternating notes and elegant figures, 
Oblivion is a song that spins a sad tale of love and woe.


"True silence is the rest of the mind;
it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body,
nourishment and refreshment.

And if tonight my soul may find peace in sleep,
and sink in good oblivion,
and in the morning  wake like a new opened flower"
