Piazzolla Oblivion Imslp Here

Oblivion was composed during a particularly prolific period near the end of Piazzolla’s life. It was written for the film Enrico IV , directed by Marco Bellocchio, based on the play by Luigi Pirandello. In the film, the protagonist believes he is the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV; the music underscores the tragedy of madness and the hazy line between reality and illusion.
