Astor Piazzolla, brilliant, iconoclastic tango musician and composer,
has become a national hero in Argentina and a cult figure for classical
and jazz lovers worldwide, but only after a lifetime of controversy and
struggle.The outspoken, headstrong Piazzolla told his story to
journalist and longtime fan Natalio Gorin in the spring of 1990 in a
series of frank interviews.Among the firsthand observations of others
who knew Piazzolla well are those of his lyricist Horacio Ferrer, his
fellow musicians, and his colleagues. Translator Fernando Gonzalez, an
Argentine native and American popular music critic who covered
Piazzolla's career in the United States, has annotated the Amadeus
edition for the widening audience that is rediscovering Astor Piazzolla.
