More pointedly, that's the famous
El Choclo
Apologies for the old reply bump. I am aware several versions of this exist (I know of at least one other arrangement that was published, and a third that seems to be a freebie on IMSLP). I have seen a couple of performances that do not seem to be based on any of the scores I have come across. This one in particular is quite nice, and being that is featured on a DVD release, I wonder if anyone knows the arranger or how one might purchase this version (if it was published vs if she improvised it or if it was the pianist's own version). The CD description states they are arranged for her, but I do not see any credits for the person to laid it out....
"Twelve well loved Argentine Tango's...unique arrangements for this artist who loads these pieces with passion and power! Amazing recording by possibly the best Tango pianist alive today!"

or perhaps is it just a combination of improvised intro and then sticking to score for parts and then spinner her own in other places?
Thanks for looking and considering.
Why don't you send her an email and ask her?
You know what, you are so right! I have never actually reached out to a recording artist to inquire about such a thing, but it can't hurt right? And people I know who have reached out to others in the past have basically said they are for the most part happy to help if they can and usually incredibly gracious. I will look into that and post anything I learn.
BTW in case anyone missed it, here is one of those other 'versions' I mentioned, this has an intro, a simple one, but an intro nonetheless.

Dearl Afred: „As You Like It“ ?
Indeed I do!
Wonderful having the all the preludes in this great PWM edition and with such outstanding editing and fingering. It is good to note that no pedaling indications of any kind seem to be suggested--any of which would undoubtedly introduce a storm of controversy (as they should!). Both these volumes are a delight to the eyes on paper or on computer monitor and deserve a prominent place in any Debussy fan's library.

Muchas gracias Alfredo!
Todos son bienvenidos.
Me gusta especialmente "Pour le piano" y "Children's Corner"
But for now, I must close the lid on my piano and go to Spanish class...new verbs today!

Thank you, Alfred!
I never attached much significance to the Children's Corner until Horowitz started playing "The Serenade for a Doll", from that time I realized how much more could be done with this little suite which appears so simple on the surface.
The PWM edition is like a refresher course for me on what I may have missed.

This short film with Alfred Cortot playing three movements from CC is a real gem.

Thanks, Jim. What an excellent film to go with Cortot's incomparable rendition of these famous pieces. Early Cortot performances like this are hard to beat.

Thanks Alfor for all these PWM editions. I have been loving the Granados's Quejas, o la maja y el ruisenor you posted some time ago for the nice edits and fingerings. Now it's amazing that we can have more of this kind of quality editions besides those Urtext ones which render "truth" rather than "musicality". Thanks for the Debussy especially!!
