Luckily, his composition teacher Nadia Boulanger (whose influence has appeared a lot this season!) saw in his tango music something special. This combination of styles was not overwhelmingly popular at the time and Piazzolla was disheartened. He performed with a number of tango orchestras and this music, along with classical and jazz, influenced his compositional style. Piazzolla was a virtuoso of the bandoneon, having first learnt to play aged 8. Piazzolla wrote the Four Seasons of Buenos Aires between 19, originally as four separate pieces for violin, piano, electric guitar, double bass and bandoneon – a Spanish accordion instrument popular in tango music.
