Solos de Bandoneón - Libro de arreglos de B. Fingas

“The bandoneon is certainly a marvelous instrument. Tango is certainly a formidable style of music. What shall a student do with these two beauties in the absence of suitable arrangements of this music for this instrument? Providentially, Bernardo Fingas offers a lovely collection of tango versions exquisitely written for the bandoneon. I praise it with joy.”

Rodolfo Mederos, Buenos Aires 10.19.2020

I recommend every bandoneon player this sheet music! I was very impressed. So fantastic arrangements from Bernardo Fingas. His arrangements are able to show the whole beauty of the instrument. The bandoneon shine bright and glory with this great arrangements. Many full chords, playing push and draw and often using the high register on the bass side….outstanding.

Biography

“When I heard the music of Astor Piazzolla in the 90s, living in Germany, I did not suspect that this experience could change my destiny. I traveled to Buenos Aires to study the bandoneón. And now it has been nearly 20 years since I have been living here, and my bandoneón and the tango are still very much a part of my path.”
