testimonios acerca del libro

“In this book, Eva Wolff achieves a very high level of the methodology needed to understand all the elements of style inherent to tango bandoneon. She’s been able to take the main bits of each bandoneonist’s contribution and show them in a clear, analytical way. On behalf of all bandoneon players and myself, thank you, Eva, for shedding light upon our beloved bandoneon.”
JUAN JOSÉ MOSALINI
Musician
“Eva Wolff has done a great job with this material, which is a very important tool to learn the technique of tango bandoneon. It includes different accentuations, syncopations, marcatos and everything that makes up the language of this genre. I recommend this book as reference material and as a study tool for musicians who would like to explore the world of tango.”
