Abstract

This article is on the language of one of the more reknown and polemic Catalan composers of the 20th Century, this music, featured as by radical expressionism, has provoked the warmest praises by his supporters, and the hashest criticáis by his detractors as well. This discussion, often centered on his personal figure and not on his work, has given as a result a usually wrong perspective about his music, there is shown his work, and the way in which his autor do it, besides (this work, and the way in which his another do it, is shown here), the influence it has from the serial and dodecaphonic world related to the Viennese School, not forgetting its sensitive and aesthetic aspects, this two phases of creation, the serial one, and the actual phase, based on a harmonic system starting from the wagnerian Tristan's chord, compose a strongly drammatic language, otherwise singular in Spanish 20th Century music.
