Souvenir Musical Numéro 12
Latin Dances. 4 standards célèbres. Numéro 12. string quartet (double bass ad libitum). Partition et parties.

Demanding salon music for string quartet is provided by Wolfgang Birtel in his 'Latin Dances' with four titles which can be played individually or as a little suite. The first dance is the chorinho 'Não me toques'. Ernesto Nazareth is considered to be the 'inventor' of the Brazilian tango and waltz : He titled the waltz, which follows as second title, 'Ingenious'. These rather unknown titles are followed by two absolute worldwide hits : first the probably most frequently played tango of all times, 'Bolada de Aficionado' and then the everlasting beguine 'Bésame Mucho'.
Whether individually or as a 'four-pack' - the fingers will be twitching and the toes will be tingling for this music carries away musicians and audience alike. Besetzung : string quartet (double bass ad libitum)
