La viruta is an instrumental Tango composed by Vicente Greco.
The name “La viruta” translates to “The Wood Shavings” in English. This title evokes a sense of intricacy and craftsmanship, suggesting a dance of precise movements and delicate interplay. The music mirrors this concept with a lively, playful rhythm, conjuring images of dancers gracefully gliding and turning, much like the fine shavings curling away effortlessly from a skillful artisan’s hand. The orchestration weaves together a variety of textures, with each instrument contributing its own distinct voice, similar to how wood shavings vary in size and curliness. The vibrant melody, punctuated by spirited staccato accents, drives this piece forward with an air of brisk elegance, capturing the essence of Tango’s dynamic energy.
Rodolfo Biagi’s interpretation of “La viruta” is a testament to his distinctive style, characterized by striking rhythmic variations and expressive piano passages. Biagi, known for his charismatic and rhythmic innovations in Tango music, breathes life into “La viruta” with an energetic yet nuanced performance. His orchestra highlights the rich textures and vibrant contrasts inherent in the composition, allowing each section to shine while maintaining a cohesive, engaging narrative. Through Biagi’s interpretation, “La viruta” becomes not just a dance, but a lively conversation, full of character and spontaneity, reflecting the vibrant cultural tapestry of Tango.
