	Everybody knows 'Brahms Lullaby', but did you know he wrote a tango? Well, almost. Most of what you hear is literally as Brahms wrote it. Albert Syeles has combined two Brahms melodies and limited modifications mostly to rhythmic reductions in the piano part to suggest the style of a Carlos Gardel tango.

	Story Behind the Song This arrangement was inspired by the resemblance between Gardel's tango "Por Una Cabeza", as it was arranged for the movie 'Scent of a Woman' and Brahms' original melody and harmony from the 'Rondo alla Zingarese' (which by the way means 'like Hungarian gypsies'). The Johannes Brahms themes are from two of his Quartets for Piano and Strings ( #1 G minor Op. 25 fourth movement - 'Rondo alla Zingarese', and #3 C minor Op. 60 third movement - 'Andante'.)
