The piece is based on the rhythm of malambo, a regional dance music where gauchos compete with intense steps. The "disjointedness" perceived in this work stems from its bitonality, where the left hand plays exclusively on black keys and the right hand exclusively on white keys. After the intensity of the sound reaches its peak in the first half, the volume is reduced, and in the final section, a series of notes identical to those of open guitar strings appears. The disjointed steps and the timbre of the guitar may represent the melancholy of an aged gaucho, who, in the process of Argentina's modernization, was tossed between old and new values.
