Estaciones Porteñas
The ''Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas'', also known as the ''Estaciones Porteñas'' or ''The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires'', are a set of four tango compositions written by Ástor Piazzolla, which were originally conceived and treated as different compositions rather than one suite, although Piazzolla performed them together from time to time. The pieces were scored for his quintet of violin (viola), piano, electric guitar, double bass and bandoneón. By giving the adjective '' porteño'', referring to those born in Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital city, Piazzolla gives an impression of the four seasons in Buenos Aires. The order of performance Piazzolla gave to his "Estaciones Porteñas" is: Otoño (Autumn), Invierno (Winter), Primavera (Spring), Verano (Summer). It was different from Vivaldi's order. The Seasons #''Verano Porteño'' (''Buenos Aires Summer'') written in 1965, originally as incidental music for the play 'Melenita de oro' by Alberto Rodríguez Muñoz.Azzi, María Su ...

It stars Leonardo DiCaprio in a dual role as the title character and the villain, Jeremy Irons as Aramis, John Malkovich as Athos, Gérard Depardieu as Porthos, and Gabriel Byrne as D'Artagnan. Some characters are from Alexandre Dumas's '' D'Artagnan Romances'' and some plot elements are very loosely adapted from his 1847-1850 novel '' The Vicomte de Bragelonne''. The film centers on the aging four musketeers, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan, during the reign of King Louis XIV.
