Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel!

"Por una cabeza", meaning "by a head [of a horse]" in Spanish, is the most famous and popular tango song by Carlos Gardel (composer) and Alfredo Le Pera (lyricist), written in 1935.
The lyrics of the song talk about a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction for horses with his attraction to women.
The tango has been performed by numerous tango orchestras and is commonly featured in films and television, most notably The Tango Project (Nonesuch Records), consisting of Accordionist William Schimmel, Pianist Michael Sahl and Violinist Stan Kurtis. Tango scenes with "Por una cabeza" appear in Planet 51, Schindler's List, Scent of a Woman, Delicatessen, True Lies, All the King's Men, Bad Santa, Episode 37 of Nip/Tuck, Episode 9 of Sweet Spy, the beginning and ending credits of I'm Sorry, I Love You, and the CSI: NY episode "Down the Rabbit Hole", and in the movie "Frida" (Salma Hayek), Gardel is heard on a radio singing it.
The sheet music of this composition arranged by me and is available from my website.

Waltz No 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich!

 I arranged Waltz No 2 by  Dmitri Shostakovich and performed recently at the Eastbourne Accordion Festival  on 20 February 2011. This work is now known as the Suite for Variety Orchestra (post-1956), from which the "Waltz No. 2" was made famous by the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, and which now seems irrevocably erroneously associated with the Jazz Suite No. 2.
