“Milonguero viejo” by Carlos Di Sarli y su Orquesta Típica, 1944.

"Milonguero viejo", Argentine Tango music sheet cover.

Carlos Di Sarli

Pianist, leader and composer (7 January 1903 – 12 January 1960)

There were no instrumental solos in his orchestral scheme, and the bandoneon section sometimes sang the melody, but it had an essentially rhythmic and danceable role.

He was a talented pianist, maybe one of the most important, who conducted his orchestra from his instrument, with which he mastered the outfit’s synchrony and performance.

Only the violin was showcased extremely delicately on a brief solo or a counter melody.

“Milonguero viejo (Fresedo)”, the tango he dedicated to Osvaldo Fresedo, his referent and admired friend, is curiously the paradoxical lapsus that portrays his own musical model.
