Piazzolla Oblivion

[saundersbp]

I wondered if anyone had come across any nice versions of this piece for freebass solo accordion please? I've found a few glupey standard bass efforts on the internet that I didn't think did the piece much favours, but also found some decent players doing a freebass version that sounded lovely. I can't find the score and reluctant to transcribe from the full score if I can help it.

Thanks!

Not sure if it's any good or not but here's one (I think?), but it'll cost £3 to get access to via his Patreon page linked in the video description

Milan Řehák also sells a score for €6 but that seems quite expensive in comparison, especially since you get all of the scores 'accordion man' has done for half the price

There are likely all the free piano versions on the net that could be used?

Thanks so much. Yes that video is faked with two accordions being used and multitracked. . Nonetheless a very musical performance. It proves my often held point though, these admired videos on YouTube are rarely the work of two hands and a live performance!

Thanks, I've managed to get a score of the original song which is probably the best place to start and a forum member has kindly supplied a simple score too. A few dogs breakfast arrangements have also come through externally so I'll need to work out my own version from the melange!

If you search You Tube for 'Ihor Pavlyk', you'll find a few videos of amazing performances on his Russian converter CBA, including 'Oblivion'. bach's Fantasia and fugue in B min (BWV 542) is, to my ears, a completely involving performance - difficult to believe it's all coming from a little box of reeds!

Note to CBA enthusiasts - check whether they are for B system and/or C.
This example is Bayan.
