Fiorentino as a soloist with Piazzolla's orchestra, an interesting version of a song better known from Pugliese and D'Arienzo.

Soy una fiera
Francisco Fiorentino
Lavocah calls it, for dancers, the most successful interpretation of Piazzolla's early orchestra, though that band was not danced to.

1947
Chiqué
A very old, much-recorded tango chosen so listeners can compare Piazzolla's own 1947 instrumental to the Troilo 1944 version he arranged.
El Rápido
From Piazzolla's only true orquesta típica (formed 1946); complex, colour-shifting arrangements built for listening, not the dance floor.
Taconeando
Chosen to demonstrate marcato en ocho — eight accents per bar instead of tango's usual four.

1948
Villeguita
Piazzolla's own composition from his own band: a modernist track with 'marcato en ocho' (counted in eight), with so many ideas that Lavocah says it is 'less complete' than Negracha.
1951
CapítuloThe Fight That Got Piazzolla Pulled From the Setlist
A new tango sound started a punch-up on the dance floor.
La Cumparsita
Recorded by a short-lived orchestra Piazzolla pulled together in 1951, between dissolving his own orquesta tipica (1946-48) and working mainly as an arranger until his move to Paris in 1954.
1955
Nonino
Lavocah opens with this as the precursor to 1967's Adiós Nonino, and as the moment Piazzolla, recording his own compositions in Paris, marks the end of the dance era.

Imperial
A second, more delicate Piazzolla Paris side, played to encourage listeners to go and seek out the rest of that session.
Solo en el episodio
Nonino
An instrumental closing the main 1926-1955 survey, described as a precursor to 'Adiós Nonino' and a symbol of tango moving from dance music to concert music.

1961
Prepárense
A Piazzolla quintet recording of a tango first heard in the Troilo arrangement of 1951; now he can be true to himself, with Antonio Agri on violin.
