Written in 1982 by the legendary Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, Oblivion is a seminal work of the nuevo tango genre. While it is one of the most searched-for pieces on the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP), users should note that Piazzolla's original works are generally still subject to copyright in most jurisdictions, including Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and the United States. Consequently, the full original score is typically not available for free public download on IMSLP, though the site serves as a vital historical database for his compositions.
