Musician Alex Roitman, bandoneonist and conductor, will direct this Lecture.
 This presentation will explore different levels of tango music structure, going from sections to motifs to phrases and sub-phrases. The elements such as rhythm, melody, harmony, as well as dynamics, articulation and ornaments will be considered regarding the overall musicality and their specific use in tango. Similarly, the general music concepts such as call and response, counterpoint, contrasts, modulations, tempo changes etc will be shown through the prism of tango style. The tango-specific musical improvisation will be explained and compared to other genres like jazz. The multitude of music elements will be synthesized into higher-level concepts aligning with human emotions.

The material will be explained in layman terms, without requiring the knowledge of music theory. The concepts will be illustrated on tango recording excerpts. The suggestions will be presented as to how the dancers might decide to interpret the specific musical elements, with multiple options suggested for the same musical element or combination of elements. The dancer interpretation will also be considered with emotions as the main focus.
