Piazzolla Invierno porteño (Winter), piano 4-hands
Astor Piazzolla's Invierno porteño (Winter) from his Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. The most beautiful of the set, Invierno begins dark and somber and ends very uplifting the hopeful. Arranged for piano four hands by Kyoko Yamamoto, performed by The Meeks Duo.
Recorded live at the Laura C. Muir Theatre, Douglas College, New Westminster, BC, Canada for the Arts at One concert series. February 2021. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgXHoPBfI9I
Piano 4-hand arrangement of the Chariots of Fire theme by Vangelis, from the 1981 movie. Arrangement by Scott Meek, performed live by The Meeks Duo (Scott Meek and Clare Yuan) at Crofton Manor, Vancouver, May 2024.
Sheet music available at: www.musicnotes.com/l/k9NNq.
Synthesia version: https://youtu.be/u-dH3Hfgmro.
I tried to recreate the original by taking advantage of the four-hand texture, which could feature the continuous bass, chordal melody, as well as the decorative synths in the upper register. It was a lot of fun to play!
Dedicated to our supporter Martha Lou Henley, who listed this as one of her favorite songs.

Astor Piazzolla's Verano porteño (Summer) from his Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. All four of the Seasons feature infectious rhythmic sections, lushly romantic lyrical melodies, and wild outbursts, and Summer is probably the most dramatic of the four. This arrangement by Kyoko Yamamoto takes advantage of the piano's percussive quality, using chord clusters played with the fist, glissandos, and rhythmic repeated chords. It also explores the instrument's delicate nature in the slower sections. Enjoy the wild ride!
