 Plie 2 (Plié 2) in 4/4 - 'Adios Nonino' by Ástor Piazzolla (also adage / port de bras)











The music of Piazzolla works very well for ballet as it is always packed with emotion that dancers can easily respond to. That said, not much of his music is suitable for use in ballet class as he often uses irregular phrase lengths. This particular piece, however, is a wonderful melody in regular 8 bar phrases, making is perfect for ballet lessons or company class. Although played here on piano, it was originally conceived for a more traditional tango band. We have used this piano piece in ballet class for many years and have found that it is very popular with ballet students and teachers alike.
