Chord Structures

To further compare the two pieces, we should look at some of the chord structures of them. Both the Tango and the Salsa are canons, which means one voice repeats another at different times throughout a piece using the same chords over and over again. 

At the end of Piazzolla's Tango, the chord structure is the following:

I V vi ii V I  IV V

(using roman numerals, and the lower-case letters represent minor keys)
