Ask Greg & Liz: Libertango

 

Back to Ask Greg & Liz page

Dear Greg & Liz,

I read your answer about why the Libertango score is not for sale yet, but I am wondering how soon you think it might be - would it be a matter of months, or years possibly? Thanks!

- Annee

 

Dear Annee,

 

Thanks for your interest (and everybody else's for that matter)! We can't promise anything regarding the release of the Libertango score (lots of complications, lots of complications...). At the very earliest: a year from now; at the latest: five to ten years from now. We'll definitely send a message to the mailing list when the day finally arrives!

 

However, we have some other plans up our sleeves that may interest you. This summer we hope to create a new series of arrangements for one-piano/four-hands -- arrangements that don't come plagued with copyright issues, arrangements that are equally cool and virtuosic, and arrangements that are... just... better (we have a lot more experience at this point). We'll be sure to let the mailing list know when these virtuoso four-hand pieces are ready.

 

Thanks for your patience Annee!

Dear Greg & Liz,

How can I get the score to your piano duo arrangement of Piazzolla's Libertango?
- multiple questioners

 

Dear Libertango aficionados,

 

Thank you for your interest in our music! Unfortunately the Libertango arrangement is not for sale. Not only have we decided to make a couple of our arrangements exclusive for a while (we know, how nasty of us!), but several of our scores are still completely illegible and face an onslaught of copyright issues. The day we get around to settling these copyright issues and notate the messy handwritten manuscripts into the computer, we will post the news on our website and email our mailing list. We hope that day won't be too far into the future, but we honestly cannot predict when this will be!

 

However, in the meantime, there are a number of other scores available for purchase. Visit the compositions page for more information. For those of you looking for wild four-hand/one-piano music, consider the Sabre Dance arrangement. Additionally, you will be able to hear several of our compositions on the upcoming Anderson & Roe Piano Duo CD, to be released later this fall, including "Erbarme Dich," "The Cat's Fugue," "The Cuckoo in Sussex," and "The Swan," all available for sale.

Dear Greg & Liz,

Is it possible to get your trancription of Piazzolla Libertango. It is amazing, I cant stop watching your video!

Anna

 

Dear Anna,

 

The quick answer: no, not yet. Please see our response to this question later down on this page for more information!

 

Thanks for your interest!

Dear Greg & Liz,

I am a young pianist and absolutely love your work. I was wondering if your transcriptions for piano were available anywhere on paper. Thanks.

Tamara

 

Dear Tamara,

 

Thank you for your interest! You are certainly not the first person to inquire about the availability of our music, and we say the same thing to everyone:

 

Unfortunately, we've decided to keep a couple of our scores "exclusive" for a while (how very nasty of us!), and we're limited by copyright restrictions on the Star Wars Fantasy.

 

That said, we sell the scores to two of our transcriptions, namely our four-hand/one-piano arrangement of Khachaturian's Sabre Dance and our two-piano arrangement of Bach's "Erbarme Dich" from the Saint Matthew Passion. You can watch a small excerpt from a live performance of the Sabre Dance on Greg's website here. It's typical Anderson & Roe flair and fury. You can listen to "Erbarme Dich" performed by the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo on Greg's CD, "On Wings of Song," available for purchase here.

 

Both of these score are $10. To purchase, send us an email (andersonroe@yahoo.com) and we'll send you a PayPal invoice. Also, check back later or join the mailing list. We will be sure to update the website as more compositions and arrangements become available.
