    About the song, "Por una Cabeza": 

    "Por una Cabeza" is a beautiful and softer side of tango. The music was composed by a French-Argentine composer, Carlos Gardel. And the lyrics were written by an Argentine lyricist, Alfredo Le Pera. It is about a man comparing his addictions between the horse race gambling and a woman. This song is used in popular films such as "Scent of a Woman," "Schindler's List," "True Lies," "Easy Virtue," "The Tourist," and "Take the Lead." The composer, Carlos Gardel appears in the old movie, "Tango Bar." To learn more about the story behind "Por una Cabeza," please visit our page, "About Por una Cabeza." 

    Tips for playing Level 5 "For una Cabeza":

    This Level 5 arrangement of "Por una Cabeza" plays the melody and harmonic notes all with the right hand which is the most challenging part of this level of "Por una Cabeza." The left-hand plays the bass accompaniment. And this level has even more of the rhythmic syncopations with both hands than Level 4. The damper (sustain) pedal markings are not provided at all. However, we recommend using the pedal here and there especially the 1st 2 beats of most measures on the 1st page and 2 pedal replacements in most measures on the 2nd page. Please play louder (forte) on the notes with the accent signs to make this song sounds very passionate. You can refer to our free complete audio sample on the top of this page before and after purchasing it. This arrangement is written for piano solo. However, you or someone else can sing along. The separate Spanish lyrics page is included in the PDF file.

    Por Una Cabeza is a popular romantic song about love and passion, composed in 1935 by the musician Carlos Gardel. The song is part of the artistic trend of Argentine tango, which was in full swing at the time the composer wrote this music. It was specially composed to be part of the soundtrack of the movie Tango Bar, released in 1935. Since then, it has been reused for various instruments and for other cinematographic works (including Steven Spielberg’s famous movie Schindler’s List, released in 1993). Today, Por Una Cabeza is the musical symbol of love and passion. As such, it is very frequently played on the piano.
