Short Piece with Tango Inside / David Rubinstein

Composed in 1999, this piano piece is part of a set entitled “Curious Assortment.” The tango in the title shouldn’t be taken too literally: Typical tango rhythms are barely present, and the tango which appears in the middle of the piece disappears almost as soon as it appeared. Then why the title? When I composed it, I felt the presence of tango. I have thought about changing the title but never did so.
