Hola Listeros,
I would be interested to know if there are other sources for tango scores than todotango.com and zivals. I know Club de Tango (Himschoot) has a lot, but the information posted about individual scores is very limited (instrument?) and apparently the ordering process is very 20-th century.
I am looking for good stuff for piano for my friend who is an accomplished pianist just becoming interested in tango - he can take a good scoer and run with it - I don't play but I have a large collection of tango music and I am fairly inspired in what titles to look for, if I knew where to look.
If someone knows a good book with scores, that would be a good place to start.
Thanks!!
Tine Herreman

Hola-
I am a bandleader who has had a lot of problems finding tango scores in the states. My solution has been to transcribe tangos from CDs. I =
write them out as simple leadsheets that a good musician can use as a basis. I've collected about 100 of these transcriptions and posted them =
at my band's website: https://www.mandragoratango.com/sheetmusic/MandragoraBook20040121.pdf I =
started to write a quick email to link to this page, but I ended up writting way too much about where to buy tango music! Here goes:
If you are looking for piano arrangements, I prefer buying an album of multiple songs rather than individual music sheets. It's usually more =
cost-effective. The best piano transcriptions I've seen are the Tango Albums 1-6 published by Melos =
(https://www.musica-argentina.com/SheetMusic/tango%20sheet%20music%20-details.asp?ProductID=90) There are about a dozen golden-era tangos in =
each volume and the piano arrangements are very artistic (as opposed to the overly-simplistic arrangemnts in most vintage sheet music). These =
books were published in the last decade and the typesetting is crisp and easy to read. Melos has also published a lot of really good Piazzolla =
albums. Ricordi also published a number of tango albums of individual composers, such as Arolas, Canaro, Troilo, and Bardi. These are =
reprints of much older editions, but they are still pretty readable. https://musica-argentina.com and https://www.julianhasse.com.ar">www.julianhasse.com.ar">https://www.julianhasse.com.ar are two =
good sources. You can buy lots of early piazzolla and continental tango at https://www.universelles.fr/
There is a very popular book of Guardia Vieja Tangos published by Mel Bay, as well as a book of French Tangos. Unfortunately, neither contain =
many recongnizable mainstream Argentine Tangos. However, these books should be easy to find from US distributors and may also be in you =
public library.
I've had good luck buying scores on Ebay. One problem, though: the market for older sheet music is often for the image on the cover (they =
are almost always really cool!). You will be bidding against folks who collect covers. I bought a bunch of stuff from a seller named =
"grandtio" who was fantastic. Bear in mind that postage from Argentina to the states is REALLY expensive. Some sellers might be willing to =
sell you photocopies of vintage sheet music, since that allows them to sell it twice.
I also have another Argentine source at sonodisc@argentina.com. Liliana can email you a catalog of just about every piece of sheetmusic =
available in Argentina. I bought some Piazzolla scores from her a while ago. She also has a _huge_ catalog of CDs full of MP3s, including 30 or =
so Tango discs, each with 120 or more songs. I won't get into the legality or ethicality of this, but I will say that I did =
cash-through-the-mail buisness with her, and I promptly received the items as described.
