Juan María Solare: Dimensión

Dimensión is a neolassical tango that was composed based on two simple piano pieces destined to young pianists: the first theme is "Langostango" and the second one "Continuando". When joining to build up "Dimensión", additional elements came into the game, such as an important secondary melody and a few transitions.

Dimensión is therefore a clear example of a successful composition: a couple of good ideas and a lot of work to achieve that nobody notices how much work lies behind it.

About the title, it obeys to my (slightly excessive) concern towards finding names that can be understood in any language of the places I usually am related to (i.e. in Spanish, English and German). In the case of "dimensión" it is a transparent word, understanding as such the words that are practically identical in any language while keeping their meaning (there exist words that are quite similar in different languages, but mean different things, in Linguistics these are called false friends.) Among my titles one finds several of such transparent words.

In September 2002 I startd conducting the Orquesta No Típica at the University of Bremen, Germany, a chamber group of variable instrumentation devoted to tango music. Dimensión was the first piece that I composed especially for this group, in January / February 2003. The original version of Dimensión is therefore for Sextet: flute, clarinet, violin, guitar, bass, piano.

Since that first version (performed several times in Germany and Argentina) I wrote a long dozen of arrangements for different instrumental groups.
