message: Piazzolla didn't study with either Ginastera or Boulanger before 1937 (age 16!), but rather with Ginastera in the late 1940s and with Boulanger from 1953-55.  Kylegann 16:37, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I understand, from notes on the Henry Lemoine edition of Histoire du Tango for flute and guitar, that the early tango of the 1890 bordellos was played on flute and guitar.  So the sentence in the Music section 
"Piazzolla also introduced new instruments that were not used in the traditional tango, including the flute, saxophone, electric and electronic instruments, and a full jazz/rock drum kit."
isn't quite right.  I suggest changing 'not used in the traditional tango' to 'not used in the conventional tango' would put this right.

thread_title:  Flute in 'traditional' tango 

message: In the article it says that he composed around 3000 pieces, something I doubt, but maybe we could get a reference. In the spanish version of this article it says 700, which also doesn't explain why in the english article says that there are 500 recorded pieces.
Maybe someone with experience could add some links to his albums (I added a reference to his collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma and the other one with Gerry Mulligan, but It'd be better to put the name of the albums and so on).

thread_title:  Compositions 

message: I believe he did more than one album with Gerry Mulligan (though I'm not certain); also, the phrase: "with compositions that had some jazz flavour" seems to ignore jazz elements in plenty of his other compositions. - Jmabel | Talk 06:22, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * I was wrong, only one with Mulligan, I've made it more specific. - Jmabel | Talk 17:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

text: When did he ever record with Yo-Yo Ma? Ma did an album of Piazzolla material some years after Piazzolla died, but when did they do an album together? I have my doubts about this: it should either be more specific or out of the article. - Jmabel | Talk 17:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gerry Mulligan 

message: Not trying to cause trouble here, just wondering: How did Piazzol(l)a himself spell his last name? Not only have I seen both spellings, I have legitimate, legal CDs of his music with both spellings, which is pretty unusual. A Google search turns up nearly equal numbers of sites under Astor Piazzolla (2.1 million) and Astor Piazzola (2.4 million). My assumption is that the original Italian family name was Piazzolla, which naturally would have been changed to Piazzola in Argentina to avoid the Spanish pronunciation of the "ll." But who changed it back, and when? Astor himself, or his fans? --Potosino 03:40, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
