'Otras voces' is a contemporary classical composition by Argentine composer and pianist Gustavo Beytelmann. The piece was composed in 2003 and premiered in the same year in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 'Otras voces' is a suite of six movements, each with its own distinct character and mood. The first movement, titled "Preludio," is a slow and contemplative piece that sets the tone for the rest of the suite. The second movement, "Milonga," is a lively and rhythmic dance that draws on the traditional Argentine milonga style. The third movement, "Canción," is a lyrical and expressive piece that features a haunting melody played on the piano. The fourth movement, "Tango," is a dramatic and passionate piece that showcases Beytelmann's skill as a tango pianist. The fifth movement, "Vals," is a waltz that is both elegant and melancholic, with a sense of nostalgia and longing. The final movement, "Epílogo," brings the suite to a close with a quiet and introspective piece that reflects on the themes and emotions explored throughout the suite. Overall, 'Otras voces' is a rich and varied composition that draws on a range of musical styles and influences, from traditional Argentine folk music to classical and contemporary music. Beytelmann's skill as a pianist and composer is evident throughout the suite, with each movement showcasing his technical proficiency and emotional depth. The result is a powerful and moving work that speaks to the universal human experience of love, loss, and longing.
