Rudolfo Mederos: El agua que corre (The Water That Flows) for piano solo
Performed by Christian Dillig
Rudolfo Mederos (*1940) is an Argentine bandeon player, conductor and composer. His compositions are influenced by Astor Piazzolla's Tango Nuevo - including this very beautiful one with the programmatic title: El agua que corre (The Water That Flows). The harmony is obviously influenced by the music of Astor Piazzolla as well as by jazz. Most of the time the music flows melancholically, towards the end it becomes dramatic, but leads into a calm conclusion.
I have recorded two other pieces that thematise flowing water

The score is from the anthology "Tango Nuevo For Piano Solo Vol. 1", published by the German publisher TONOS Darmstadt, and it is still available there. It is an appealing collection of 10 newer tango compositions or compositions influenced by tango by the Argentinian composers Astor Piazzolla, Pablo Ziegler, Rodolfo Mederos, Saúl Cosentino, Osvaldo Requena and Miguel A. Varvello. I have recorded from the volume so far:
