usurpator Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Hi all, I’ve been looking around for some tango or Bach for anglo, all I found was some pieces from anna-magdalena Bach’s notebook (lots of fun!)have you got any references that would complement that (any Bach, even the sons, and any tangoish music) I think I’m going to transcribe, but from what instrument? any advice most welcome I’ve transcribed many times before from/to piano violin cello but I have no idea what is considered the best “source” instrument many thanks concertina away!
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted March 9 Posted March 9 There's a wealth of Bach music everywhere, that is if you look at publications made in instruments, not always intended ( of course,) for concertinas! For example sources that may already be presented for ( flute, violin, even recorder) I have found useful over the years. The range seems to work well on concertinas. 1
usurpator Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 recorder! great point i did not think of that one! many thanks!!!

The scores aren't laid out particularly well, but I think you've said you are a professional musician? If that's the case, you won't have a problem transcribing/transposing for whatever instrument/key sig. suits you, but I included the ABC code anyway. The source is identified in each tune, so you should be able to back-track to the original if needed... R tango.abc tango.pdf Edited March 9 by Roger Hare 1
usurpator Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 Oooooh! so many thanks, Roger!!! this is spot on! with a few tweaks it will be lots of fun to play on the anglo! many many thanks 🙏❤️
Ed Nardell Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Soloduet has recorded quite a few tangos and Bach pieces, but for Hayden Duet - probably adaptable. He's sent me some tango arrangements. 1
Roger Hare Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) Oh! I forgot this one. 'Last Tango in Harris'. Pushing the definition of 'Tango' a little I guess, but I like the play on words in the title: ltih.pdf ltih.abc Edited March 10 by Roger Hare 1
usurpator Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 (edited) I have subscribed to their youtube, where can i find these scores? are they published? Edited March 10 by usurpator

It's a reel, reelly(🙂) and a bit quirky in this context - which appeals to my sense of humour. I think I may have found LTIH on The Session where there are several settings. Stretching things (more than) a little🙂, I found a couple more tango-ish tunes.

There have been some changes to DropBox recently which have made it more difficult to use in a way which suits me. This is why I'm slowly moving to GoogleDrive. Send me a PM if you see any more anomalies? That's me done with the tangos - I had some spare time this morning and fished out a couple more (rather silly) examples. It goes without saying that there are no nasty people on concertina.net... 1
usurpator Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 i’ll let you know if i spot anything! and yes i agrees: concertinists are fantastic people! many thanks once more!❤️❤️🙏🙏
mike averill Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) Bach: Cello suite no. 3 in C minor is good. Tango: Por una cabeze, Carlos Gardel is a classic. For the cello suites it helps if you read bass clef scores, although you'll most likely play an octave up. Edited March 10 by mike averill additional text 1
usurpator Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 great ideas! por una cabeza like all gardel will be hard to find, it’s still (c)
