Por Una Cabeza is one of the most moving and famous tangos in the Argentine repertoire. Composed in 1935 by the legendary Carlos Gardel with lyrics by Alfredo Le Pera, this melancholic tango tells the passion of a man for horse racing and for love, two obsessions that merge into the same intoxication. It became world-famous thanks to the films Scent of a Woman (1992) and Schindler's List (1993), it has become one of the most performed tangos in the world. Its winding melodic line, expressive ornaments, and syncopated rhythm make it a piece particularly suited for the accordion. This sheet music is available in level 5 and level 3 so you can enjoy it according to your skill level.
