[Tango-L] length of some nuevo songs

[Michael Knowles]

Keith, I sense that you have the musical know-how to carry out proper 
edits while retaining musical feeling and direction. If I had to guess, 
I'd say very few Listeros would be comfortable trimming a minute or two 
from a too-long tango song on their computer. Perhaps you'll find a way 
to offer your shortened versions on CD without incurring the wrath of 
copyright holders.

The only tango I've ever felt the need to trim is the Brazilian piano 
solo 'Plangente' by Ernesto Nazareth as performed by Joshua Rifkin. 
Using editing software I took out the /Da Capo al coda/ --I edited it so 
that Mr. Rifkin takes the final ending on the first run-through, 
shortening the song from an unwieldy and ultimately boring 5:54 to an 
engagingly slow and sad 3:21.
