Abstract
In this paper, I present a study of the tango Serial dodecafónico (1963) by Eduardo Rovira (1925-1980), composed in accordance with the rules of Schoenberg’s dodecaphonic technique, as stated by the composer himself. Through a structural analysis of the piece, we have endeavored to determine the nature of the serial strategies employed and their relationships with some of those utilized by Schoenberg. As a result of this work, the idiosyncratic uses of the technique are also described, ultimately being the most relevant aspects of the piece.
