Adiós Nonino is a composition by tango Argentine composer Ástor Piazzolla, written in October 1959 while in New York, in memory of his father, Vicente "Nonino" Piazzolla, a few days after his father's death. In 1959, Piazzolla was on a tour of Spanish speaking America when, during a presentation in Puerto Rico with Juan Carlos Copes and Maria Nieves Rego, he received news of the death of his father, Vicente Piazzolla, nicknamed Nonino, due to a bicycle accident in his hometown of Mar del Plata. This news, coupled with the tour's failure, economic problems and homesickness, led Piazzolla to depression. There after receiving such devastating news he composed this work in about 30 minutes as a tribute to his father, based on "Nonino", another tango Astor had composed five years earlier in Paris, also dedicated to Vicente Piazzolla. "Dad asked us to leave him alone for a few hours. We went into the kitchen. First there was absolute silence. After a while, we heard dad playing the bandoneon. It was a very sad, terribly sad melody. He was composing "Adiós Nonino". Daniel Piazzolla, his son.
Thank you so much!!! It is a beautifull tango. The great one clasic!!! Astor Piazzolla, musician and genius. He was the creator of the "progresive tango". Tango....the music of Buenos Aires city..... Thanks again .
It's not an acordeon,is a Bandoneon(German origin). I'm sure do you remenber at "12 Monkey " film. It have other Astor Piazzolla music. The name of the sountrack is "Suite Punta del Este" from Piazzolla
Hello : This song has several stages ... they all describe Astor's feelings when he learns of his father's death ... first is the denial ... then the anger the anger for the news .... then the pain and depression and finally the resignation and love to the memory of his father Vicente Nonino .... one of the most beautiful themes of creation ... greetings
Su padre no se llamaba nonino, era una forma de llamarlo que significa abuelito, ellos eran de originen italiano y es común decir "nonnino" de forma cariñosa a un abuelo.

Not crazy, the conductor seems off rythm because he is playing behind the beat, that's how the musicians can be prepared for the tempo, the classical musicians react to the beat
