Piazzolla created a Latin American counterpart to Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons with his "Seasons." There are transitions from a furious agitation with very virtuosic passages to an almost frightening calm and stillness. In this respect, they are descriptive music. Piazzolla wanted to symbolize the pulse of the metropolis. By using the tango, he brought the bourgeois Buenos Aires to life before our eyes, the new tango, the soul of Buenos Aires. There is sometimes the question about Borodin whether he was a composing scientist or a scientific composer. Undoubtedly, he was a great dual talent. In his 2nd Quartet, Russian melody is predominant. Source:
