Danzas Argentinas is a set of three dances. Danza del viejo boyero, immediately strikes the ear as being odd. The left hand plays only black notes, while the right plays only white notes. Despite the seemingly unavoidable cacophony of that arrangement, Ginastera manages to frame a simple and charming melody through the use of rhythm and texture. Danza de la moza donosa is a gentle dance in 6/8 time. Ginastera left no doubt as to how Danza del gaucho matrero, should be performed with directions such as furiosamente (furiously), violente (violent), and salvaggio (wild). Evelina Puzaite
