Igor Stravinsky - Tango for Piano

Today's Classical Corner... Stravinsky!
Tango (for piano) was composed in 1940. Due to its simplicity, it is one of Stravinsky's most recorded works for piano. After settling in Hollywood, Stravinsky was unable to bring the money he earned from his royalties of his works in Europe to America, due to copyright issues and ambiguities. When he found himself with financial difficulties, he decided to write new compositions entirely in America in order to exploit them, with the exclusive intention of making money. Tango, which was the first work entirely written in America, is one of those works.
