Note: The composer about the text: Buenos Aires is good air, utopia, wishful thinking, a loving reality as far as life and its possible meaning are concerned. I have woven into each other, turned around and adjusted early God texts by Rilke from his period in Berlin Schmargendorf. But: instead of God, the word 'tango.' Instead of God, the remote city. Instead of genitive, imperative. Instead of a picture in a picture, a picture – a gesture, a 'monologino,' a scene.
