LAST TANGO BEFORE SUNRISE As with my previous essays in this medium, Tango in Blue and Almost a Tango, this new chapter intends to simulate the spirit of the tango, more for reflection than for the dance floor. A quality of nostalgia is typical of most tangos. I wrote Last Tango Before Sunrise at the request of publisher-critic-entrepreneur Martin Anderson, who asked for a work memorializing the love of his life, Yodit, recently deceased. I only met Yodit once for a brief moment at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Martin introduced her thus: "meet the mother of my son". Martin's devotion merits the more than 100 compositions he has inspired to honor her memory. —JosÊ Serebrier
