Tecleando recorded by Alfredo De Angelis

Tecleando is an instrumental Tango composed by Carlos Figari.

Interpretation of Tecleando

The name “Tecleando” translates to “Typing” in English. As an instrumental piece, Tecleando is imbued with a rhythm reminiscent of the distinct and methodical sounds of fingers gracefully dancing across a keyboard. The piano leads with a melodic structure that mimics the deliberate pressing of keys, creating a staccato tempo interwoven with smooth, flowing lines. The other instruments of the orchestra, including the bandoneón, violin, and double bass, join in to complement this theme, injecting their own interpretative dialogue that echoes the harmony of an orchestra produced by synchronized typing. Each note played is crisp and precise, evoking the image of a writer crafting a passionate letter or a pianist lost in the keys. This tango captures the essence of creation, both methodical and expressive, like the art of typing itself.

Alfredo De Angelis and Tecleando

Under the skilled direction of Alfredo De Angelis, Tecleando becomes a vibrant musical narrative, demonstrating the orchestra’s exceptional ability to convey emotion through instrumental composition. De Angelis’ interpretation brings out the subtle nuances and emotional depth within the piece, highlighting the upbeat yet introspective nature of the composition. His orchestra adeptly balances the dynamic tensions between sound and silence, giving room for each instrument to shine while maintaining the cohesive, signature sound of traditional Tango. This interpretation remains true to the essence of Carlos Figari’s work while elevating it with the unique style and flair that Alfredo De Angelis is celebrated for.
