[edit] Archive/Musical Career

I archived comments here to Archive1, everything before 2007. Two items had no title, which I have given (according to a swift survey of the contents) and categorised according to first post date; feel free to change title or position if you should think I was in error in doing so.

Furthermore, I'm thinking of 1. either merging Musical Style and Musical Career, by implementing all biography details in Biography and musical style details in Musical Style, 2. or somehow keep current situation but at least creating some chronologic ánd stilistic overview of Piazzolla's achievements. It might be interesting to have a clear view on how Piazzolla evolved stylistically + qua players (from Quartet to Quintet, which instrumentalists etc). Few people know how to place stuff like his operita, his fusion period with his sun, when Ziegler introduced his modern classical piano style etc etc. I'm thinking of something, anyone who has ideas, please help.

[edit] Discography

In regard to creating a discography, I suppose it's especially interesting to create a list of recordings that were issued with Piazzolla's consent. I mean, not the numerous issues of live concerts (unless official lives) or (re)collections. For example, Tango: Zero Hour, albeit itself a collection of various recording sessions, is an issue on Piazzolla's behalf. Furthermore, Sur is a film, which could be pointed out. How about his opera... The purpose of this discography section should be to shed a light on Piazzolla's consent in his own discography, anyone who could is highly accepted.

[edit] Error in age when he met Gardel

The article says Piazzolla was born in 1921, and that "At the age of 15, he met Carlos Gardel...", which would be 1936. However, Gardel died in 1935.

The site [Todo Tango] has the following to say:

¿Cuándo se produce la primera incursión del joven Piazzolla en el tango? En el año 1934 llega Carlos Gardel a New York, contratado para filmar la película "El día que me quieras" y por esas cosas del destino conoce a un joven de 13 años llamado Astor que era argentino y además tocaba el bandoneón.

So, Piazzolla met Gardel at age 13 (1934).

[edit] Commented You Tube link..

Commented 4 links - No inidcation uploaders have links with the subject of article, thier agents or recording label etc. In additon some of the clips seem to be TV footage.

How long do Argentine copyright terms last BTW? ( Would I be right in assuming author+70 as that seems to be the de-facto standard in Europe?)Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:57, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wife and children

His first wife and children should be mentioned (his son played keyboard with Piazzolla and his daughter wrote a biography of him). Badagnani (talk) 23:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quintet

It should be added when he formed his Quintet, and who the musicians are. Badagnani (talk) 18:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
