"Avalanche" is a song by Leonard Cohen. It appears on his third album, Songs of Love and Hate, released in 1971. The lyrics are based on a poem he had previously written. He acknowledged in a 1992 interview with Paul Zollo that his "chop", his unique pattern of playing classical guitar, is behind many of his early songs, and this one features Cohen's trademark fast, syncopated classical guitar pattern as the accompaniment on the recording of the song. The arranger Walter Abt did not conceptualize the song as a cover version, but in this version it moves far away from the original by only using melodic fragments of the original. The groove is in a flamenco tangos pattern. The key changes constantly from A minor to C minor. In addition to a version for solo guitar, there is another version written in an orchestral style with strings and brass. The sheet music and tablature are available at: www.shop.abtmusic.com

Die Groove ist in einem TangosPattern des Flamencos gehalten. Die Tonart wechselt beständig von aMoll nach Cmoll. Neben einer Version für Sologitarre gibt es eine weitere, die im orchestralen Stil mit Streicher und Bläser verfasst ist. Die Noten sowie die Tabulatur sind erhältlich unter: www.shop.abtmusic.com
