Antonio Ruiz-Pipó

Antonio Ruiz-Pipó (27 April 1934 – 24 October 1997) was a Spanish virtuoso pianist and composer.

He partnered with his longtime friend the violinist Serge Blanc in duos, trios, and quartets with piano with whom he toured within France, Spain and many other countries.

In 1987, Ruiz-Pipó wrote for Blanc a violin concerto for string orchestra dedicated to him.

His music is not consistently tonal, evidenced by a recording by Jean Bruno Dautaner (E.[1] His treatment and harmonization of his thematic material (often deceptively simple-sounding) is sophisticated, and he revels in sharp contrasts of mood and color.

Based on his Canción y Danza a Tamil language cinema song called "Entha poovilum vaasam undu" in the movie Murattu Kaalai was composed.
