Private Stash

I am always looking for tango sheet music arrangements for orchestras of all sizes. I'm also interested in dance band arrangements for almost any enemble or style.

The goods:

• AccordionJazzBooks.pdf 3 Books of Accordion Jazz transcriptions by Frank Marocco, Art Van Damme and Matt Matthews
• AfroCubanKeyboardGrooves.pdf A book about playing Cuban Montuños on piano.
• ArreglosParaBandoneon.zip About 20 tango arrangements for bandoneon solo. Many are illegible.
• Bardi10.pdf A book of 10 tangos by Don Agustin Bardi
• BoleroSheetMusic.pdf 8 Boleros that Max Velentinuzzi gave me to scan. They should have been in the bigger collection of Tango sheet music, but they are not.
• BrazilianRealBook.pdf A boatload of Brazilian Jazz.
• CarlosGardelTangos.pdf A scan of the Melos book of Garlos Gardel tunes. Some nice stuff.
• CubanFakeBook.pdf A fakebook of 100 Cuban tunes. Significant overlap w/ LatinRealBook.pdf
• Edition Universelles Tangos V1.pdf"> A bunch of Tango arrangments I bought from Edition Universelles in France. Some early Piazzolla and late Troilo
• ItalianAccordionMusic.pdf I'm not even sure where I got these. It's a bunch of Italian accordion tunes like polkas and vals. They sound more French than Itallian and have nothing to do with the music you hear at Italian resturants.
• LatinRealBook.pdf A boat load of Latin tunes.
• MandragoraBook20040121.pdf My feeble attempts at writting a tango fake book. One day I will correct the 20 or so known typos, but untill then, you are on your own
• MariaDeBsAsJeuneLune.pdf My tango quintet (Piano, Bass, Violin, Guitar, and Accordion (rather than Bando)) arrangement of Astor Piazzolla and Horracio Ferrer's Maria de Buenos Aires, as cut to fit the Theatre de la Jeune Lune's production. Here are some scans of the scenes 1, 10, 6, & 17 from the original score in Piazzolla's hand. One of my biggest regrets is that I did not copy more of the original score. These are all the scenes I have. Here is the piano reduction.
• MariaDeBsAsQuintet.pdf A complete arrangment of Maria De Bs As. Plenty of typos. I only had time to fix them nt he playing version and plenty more are only fixed in pencil on the musican's parts in my basement.
• Some arrangments by our friend Ozdener Koyuturk
• TangoSheetMusic.pdf 50 Tangos from teh collection of Max Valentinuzzi. These are old tango partituras that he kept in a folder for years. I scanned them and made Max a backup copy. Max said I can shere this with anyone who loves tango. If you do not love tango, please do not download it!
• piazzolla.zip A collection of Piazzolla sheet music that I got from pianosheets.org
• The New York Tango Collection (i400 tangos in 320 MB, but worth every byte) A New Yorker I met on the interweb mailed me a CD full of scans of old tango sheet music his cousin collected. The great thing about this file is that it includes awesome color scans of the tango covers. There is nothing particularly "New York" about this collection. I just randomly named it that. If you have a better name, I'd like to hear it.
• 655 Tangos in 3 volumes: vol. 1, vol. 2, vol. 3 I got these off the internet. Not the cleanest scans. Many may actually be from TodoTango.com. Still, that's a buttload of tango.
