As a disciple of R. Gerhard, himself a student of Schoenberg, Joaquim Homs’s music can be said to share quite a few traits with that of the Vienese musician. Homs, however, did not adopt the twelve-tone music technique until the 50s. The Two Inventions –Moderato and Vivace- were composed in 1964, thus belonging to a period when the twelve-tone music was already totally accepted and suited even Homs’s creative conception. So, this work can be clearly described as based on the twelve-tone row which forms its initial nucleus. Derived from it and from its constantly rotating twelve transpositions, some structures are formed which determine the shape and form of the work according to the taste and creativity of the author.
