Mi dolor
Tango by Carlos Marcucci (1903-1957)
He was one of the three famous "kids" in the early days of tango, along with Maffia, the kid from Flores and the kid Fresedo from La Paternal. They had an audience that listened to them and compared them.
He and Minotto were the precursors of the virtuoso stream in bandoneon playing. He was a great technician but also with great gifts for interpretation. His arrangements were complex and, undoubtedly, his most important piece was "Aires espaņoles", the first piece written for solo bandoneon, in 1924. There is also his outstanding variation on his tango "Mi dolor". His early duos with Salvador Grupillo do not evidence his true capabilities, they are very simple, with nothing to highlight. He possessed a high technical command, an amazing fingering, and an overwhelming speed in his running variations performed with mathematical precision. It was his the iniciative of systematizing the solos played with both hands.
