Por una Cabesa for Clarinet Quartet by Carlos Gardel arranged by Massimo Dell'Acqua. Edizioni Eufonia, SS, includes parts and score. For four B-flat clarinets. Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), who grew up in Argentina, was a singer, songwriter and actor, and is one of the most prominent figures in the history of tango. This piece which was written in 1935, refers to the Spanish horse-racing phrase meaning "by a head", which refers to a horse winning a race by the length of one head. The lyrics speak of a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction to horses with his attraction to women. The tempo of this tango is slow (mm=68) so it can be performed by better high school quartets and up (C2260)
