Parcourez les partitions de piano de Leopoldo Corretjer sur Zen Virtual Piano. According to the historian Vicente Gesualdo, Corretjer was born in Barcelona in 1862 and died in Buenos Aires in 1941. He studied with outstanding grades at the Royal Conservatory of his native city. In 1887 he moved to Buenos Aires, where he won a music teaching post in the National Council of Education by competition and was later named inspector of music in the city's schools. A move across the Atlantic that ended in a post in the school system suggests a career tied closely to education. He was a harmony teacher who, among other things, notated many tangos by composers who could not write music, and his students included the tango composer Eugenio De Alarcón and Manuel Campoamor. In 1899 Campoamor dedicated his first tango, Sargento Cabral, to him. A teacher who wrote down other people's tunes and was later honoured by a pupil hints at a role as a bridge between untrained musicians and the printed page. For the centenary of the May Revolution, he was chosen to conduct, in the Plaza del Congreso, a band of 500 musicians and a choir of 30,000 schoolchildren who played and sang the Argentine National Anthem. He wrote several tangos and marches, among them Saludo a la bandera and the Himno a Sarmiento, which are still sung in schools. A choir of thirty thousand children and songs that stayed in school use suggest a composer whose audience was above all young Argentines. Todotango describes the words and music of Saludo a la bandera as the work of a Catalan, Leopoldo Corretjer, and the lyrics as an emotional homage to the country that was his adopted homeland, which he sang with fervour. From his first tango, El afilador, others followed, such as Mi negra and Apuntá pa' otro lao. A song of thanks to an adopted country, written by an immigrant, hints at how his own history fed into what he composed.
