Marking models examples from recordings

Let’s analyze some marking models from recordings:

EXAMPLE: MANO BRAVA (BUZÓN / CADICAMO) – SALGÁN / DE LÍO DUET

Horacio Salgán was a master of syncopations. This is a clear example of his style. While the left hand plays the basic marking model or quarter notes, the right hand is full of syncopations.

EXAMPLE: NOCTURNA (J. PLAZA) – J. PLAZA AND ANIBAL TROILO VERSIONS

In this example we can see how a same passage can support both types of marking models: the bordoneo in the first version and the basic ciudadana model in the second version.

EXAMPLE: CORRALERA (A. AIETA) – ARIAS/MONTES DUET

This example covers arpeggios in quarter notes and bordoneo bassline designs.

EXAMPLE: MILONGA DE MIS AMORES (LAURENZ / CONTURSI)

This arrangement contains the 3-3-2 resource when the harmony descends. Also we can find quarter notes, and bordoneo.

EXAMPLE: LA TRAMPERA (A. TROILO)

As this composition has a lot of harmony changes, the use of quarter notes is very effective. Also the backbeats are used in the accompaniment.
