Ekaterina Afanasieva’s arrangement of Astor Piazzolla’s “Oblivion” is for solo pedal harp. This classical, slow tango was written in 1982. It was famously featured in the 1984 Italian film ‘Enrico IV’ (‘Henry IV’) directed by Marco Bellocchio. The song has been described as “haunting” and “atmospheric” and is considered to be one of Piazzolla’s most popular tangos. Afanasieva says, “It evokes sadness, despite its lyrics speaking of love. It also has a harmonic sophistication and whispered sadness.”
