Ástor Piazzolla (1921 – 1992) was an Argentine bandoneon player and composer, considered one of the most important musicians of the 20th century and one of the world’s foremost tango composers.

His works revolutionized traditional tango into a new style known as nuevo tango or avant-garde tango, incorporating elements of jazz and classical music.

In 1959, during a tour of Central America, Astor Piazzolla received the tragic news of the death of his father, Vicente, nicknamed Nonino. This event, along with the tour’s failure and his longing for his native Argentina, plunged Piazzolla into depression.

Upon returning to New York, he composed “Adiós Nonino,” drawing inspiration from an earlier tango of his, Nonino. In a moment of deep sorrow, his son Daniel recalled how Piazzolla asked to be alone and, after a long silence, began playing the bandoneon, creating a deeply moving melody.

“Adiós Nonino” is considered one of Piazzolla’s most iconic works, alongside “Libertango.” The composer himself described it as “the most beautiful piece I’ve ever written.” It is an instrumental tango that reflects his grief and tribute to his father and is regarded as one of his most inspired compositions. The piece also shows influences from George Gershwin and Brian Wilson, revealing the rich fusion of styles that characterizes Piazzolla’s music.
