Your friend, Astor Piazzolla.
About me
When I was a child, I listened to my mother playing tangos on our piano, beautifully performed. In secondary school, I played accordion in a little band with other pupils playing popular songs. When I finished school I played accordion for 2 or 3 years in the quintet of Italian singer Giuliano Verna.
Our repertoire included renowned Italian songs and some songs that I already had composed. With the earnings from our performances, I paid for flight hours to become a Private Pilot and after several years at the Aeronautics National School I became a Commercial Pilot……

Dear Saul! Your music is honest and absolutely beautiful! This is REAL music. We have played today on rehearsal, and I can tell you that this is the best song we ever received. And I receive every week at least one. This will be definitely part of our repertoire. The world premiere will take place on 26.03 in St.Petersburg in Mariinsky concert hall. Best regards.
- Irina Shishkina Pianista | Ciudad de México
Tocamos sus tangos por supuesto y su Valse de cristal que me enamoró, tanto como a Maya y a Polina. Hicimos una versión a 4 manos, gusta que le envíe la partitura? También con Maya hicimos una versión a dos pianos. La gente nuevamente se asombró de su música. Yo diría que fue éxito total de sus tangos en México, igual que en Milán.
- Remko de Landmeter Flautista | Roterdam, Holanda
Hi Saúl, thank you so much for your beautiful compositions! I would love to play them. I have been always a big fan of the music of Piazzolla and it’s so nice to hear another great composer like you…. Let’s keep in touch. All the best.
- Giuseppe Mazzamuto Percusionista de la Orquesta Sinfónica Siciliana, y vibrafonista de jazz | Italia
Grande Saul!! Musica stupenda, sei un grande compositore. In questi ultimi anni, dopo avere studiato con Gary Burton, mi sono dedicato molto più al Vibrafono pertanto ti volevo chiedere se è possibile avere la parte del concerto per vibrafono e orchestra d'archi, mi piacerebbe vedere la parte di vibrafono se è possibile. Grazie.
- Jacques Riou Flautista en Conservatoire de Gennevilliers | París, Francia
First of all, your music is very beautiful! We did a concert last evening, at the conservatorium where I teach, in Gennevilliers, close to Paris.... but they loved it and I know it was good for them because your music is full of... music! The piano player was a Corean student (Ji-Hui) who asked me to play it because she loves it too! All the best!
- Karen Street Acordeonista | Reino Unido
This is fantastic, I can’t wait to play them. You are so talented. I can’t thank you enough.

Your music and your art resound with my heart, thank you ... Hugs!
- Kjell Edstrand Pianista, arreglador, director y compositor | Malmö, Suecia
Whenever I hear music that makes me smile, laugh, cry, think or dream I thank life. I felt as if I knew you before I met you, having heard your music. "Ideas y emociones" is one of my favorites all time. Scriabin, Bach, Chopin, Grieg and Tchaikovsky. And your music. From the heart. Thank you for your importance not only as a musician but as a human person.
- Adrian Kreda Pianista suizo-argentino
Estimados Saúl y Gerardo, Espero que se encuentren bien. He escuchado con mucho placer las grabaciones mp3 de las piezas de Saúl y me gustan muchísimo. Tienen fineza y al mismo tiempo un ritmo desbordante e implacable. Algunas obras tienen un lenguaje pre-impresionista como « Al rojo vivo ». Esta semana me voy a Polonia, en donde toco el próximo domingo un programa de música polaca entre otras cosas la sonata para violín y piano de J. Elsner (el maestro de Chopin). Un gran abrazo.
- Katica Illényi Violinista, cantante y thereminista húngara
Thank you so much for your nice message! I checked out your website and listened to your music today and I am amazed! I like each and every composition of yours. Since I am a singer too I also listened to your songs and I fell in love with the song "Sin tu mitad". I decided to sing it as soon as I will have the opportunity. Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish but as I am listening to these beautiful songs it is just a matter of time and I will learn the language too. Your music is a huge inspiration for me. I love tangos and I am very interested in learning and playing your passionate compositions.
