Ave Maria ( A.Piazzolla ) Sheet Music

[wirralaccordion]

Can anyone advise me where I can obtain the sheet music for a solo piano accordion version of this tune. I have found many piano solo and other versions but not one for which the music was originally written ( or so I thought )

From: Naxos
"Ave María, originally titled Tanti anni prima, was composed for the film Enrico IV (1984) by Marco Bellocchio featuring Marcello Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale. The film was based on Luigi Pirandello’s play of the same title. Ave María is the theme associated with Matilde, Claudia Cardinale’s rôle in the movie. The piece was originally written for oboe and piano."

I do not know of any Piazzolla composition originally written for accordion. He did write for the bandoneon, which is a close relative.

Here is a performance on CBA accordion. Maybe it will give you enough of an idea of how to make your own version.
Peter Soave is the accordionist.

Thank you. This is where my knowledge is lacking.

Can hardly believe that all the sound is from a single intrument - brilliant!

Are you looking for something that will work for Stradella bass?

Yes - but using more than 1 button to form a chord would be beyond my skills!

Thanks for the video, lovely tune. I found another video from the same chap with the mandolin orchestra playing with the accordion, thus combining my two musical obsessions.
