George Speckert consistently succeeds in composing and arranging pieces of an easy standard which are a joy to play and sound appealing. His “ Tangos for Strings” are suitable for young string quartets as well as group string teaching or string orchestras. The pieces lie well under the fingers, sound authentic and are subtly nuanced. Musicians and teachers will enjoy them as much as listeners.


- 7 tangos for strings
- Easy to play pieces
- In four parts – ideal for string quartet as well as string orchestra
- 3rd violin can replace viola


“The publication is well produced and edited, the pieces sufficiently extended to give a real feeling of having inhabited the idiom, and varied enough to make this collection more than a one-hit wonder. The pieces use a range of virtuosic effects, encouraging the development of technique alongside musical awareness.”
