The Neglected"Language":The Relationship of Tone Sequence and Pitch Structure in Roslavets'Three Compositions
The Russian composer Roslavets at the turn of the century,because of the political fac-tors,his musical exploration and achievements are little known.Three compositions(1914)was his early work composed by using the technique of central tone sequence,which used three groups of central tone sequence with the same family relationship to organize the pitch of the whole piece.Based on the background of relevant historical materials,this paper studies the logical relationship and structural layout of the overall pitch organization of the work,aiming to interpret the structural force and cohesion of the central tone sequence and its specific application in the work,and reveal the profound significance of this technology in the development process of pitch organization.
