[...] the fate of the Argentine people can be experienced in a deeply moving way. With its manifold articulations, the description of existential emotions is as gripping as it is disturbing. [...]

Review: Sonata Tanguera in "Tango Danza"
Its musical themes and rhythmic elements are still preserved but integrated in traditional chamber music. The name-giving Tango-Sonata (orig.: Sonata Tanguera) was developed in 2001, in a time of political crisis in Argentinia and during a complete changeover in the life of the composer Pablo Aguirre.
In searching for a new musical identity, an enrichment for the modern chamber music and a real new form of the classical sonata came into being.
The structure of the sonata form is the basis for the Tango-Sonata. The fragments of the sonata form are seperated to create the new framework for the single movements. The Tango-Sonata is also influenced by Astor Piazolla's "Tango Nuevo" but finds its special musical shape.
