Construction: The Tango is a one-movement piece consisting of 88 bars including repeats and is in 4/4 throughout but without metronome marking under the tempo indication 'Tempo di Tango'. The work consists of a quasi-introduction, a repeated first section, a trio as the middle section and a partial repeat of the opening section, which leads without the trio into a coda which uses identical material from the introduction: A-B-C1-C2-B-C1-A. In the orchestral version, the beginning of the coda is indicated by a double bar-line but it is not specifically referred to by name as a coda.

Style: The piano version is despite the impression of lightness given by the dance, conceived very compactly and certainly not easily to be played. White suggests that the reason for this was that Strawinsky had a version for instruments in mind from the very beginning.
Dedication: There is no dedication indicated.
Date of origin: Piano Version: Hollywood 1st up to 14th. October 1940; Instrumentation by Guenther: 1941; Instrumentation by Strawinsky: finished May 1953.
Duration: between 4' and 4'30".
First performance: Piano version: not known at present; Guenther version: 10th July 1941 in Robin Hood Dell, Orchestra Benny Goodman, conducted by Benny Goodman; Instrumentation by Strawinsky:18th October 1953 in Los Angeles, Evenings on the Roof Concerts, conducted by Robert Craft*
* Samuel Dushkin and Harry Kaufman performed the version for violin and piano, which remained unpublished during Strawinsky's lifetime, for the first time on 3rd January 1941 in the Town Hall in New York.
Remarks: There is not much known at this time about the origins of the Tango, but one can hardly err in making the presumption that it was one of those works opportunities which came about as a result of Strawinsky's difficult financial situation after his emigration in 1939, such as Scherzo à la Russe, Ebony Concerto, Circus Polka. This sort of work, using a rather lower-class musical language of the masses, was, from the end of 1945 up to 1953 at the latest, no longer the current thing that Strawinsky was working on, especially as he had not received the widespread success with it that he had certainly hoped for. The Tango form had already been used by Strawinsky in A Soldier's Tale and in the small light piano pieces, Les Cinq Doigts. In a letter from Strawinsky to Boosey & Hawkes from 21st July 1953, we learn that he had been visited by David Adams in May 1953 and that he had given him tuition that he just had completed the instrumentation of the Tango.
Orchestral Version: The orchestral version is consistent with the piano version, but Strawinsky's orchestral version is a tone higher than the piano version (G instead of F; and the trio respectively E instead of D); in the recent editions, the final section of the piano version, unlike the orchestral version, is labelled 'Coda'. The Strawinsky score is written in non-transposing parts, a practice which he used for many other scores especially in his serial period.
Significance: The work is for the most part highly esteemed in serious academic literature.
Versions: The contract between Strawinsky and the Mercury Music Corporation was settled on the 2nd January 1941. Strawinsky received a lump-sum of $500 and the usual proceeds from the sales. The history of the publication is yet unclear. The Tango was produced and printed in several versions which is the result of a certain commercial interest, both on the part of Strawinsky as well as on the part of the American publishers. In this way all Strawinsky’s plans were ruined, as he above all had conceived of a version for dance band and also a version for a voice. The version arranged by Samuel Dushkin for violin and piano from the year 1941 remained unpublished during his lifetime. The earliest orchestration is not by Strawinsky, rather Felix Guenther, but it was checked and approved by Strawinsky. The original piano version and Guenther's instrumentation were printed in 1941 by the Mercury Music Corporation in New York. In London, the piano edition is stored under the signature h.3992.f.(6), and was entered as a deposit copy on 17th April 1941. The cover page was torn off and is missing. This edition was sold by the publishers, and in the year of publication (1941), 82 copies were sold. Before 1946, the Mercury Music Corporation sold more than 450 copies, and up to the end of 1958, more than 750. The orchestral edition by Guenther is available in London under the signature h.3992.f.(10); it is however unfortunately incomplete. In the accounts of Mercury, a score of the Tango appears for the first time in 1943 with two copies included. – This can only refer to the version by Guenther as the conducting score, because the Strawinsky version had not yet been written. Until the end of 1953, the publishers register 24, and for 1955, 77 published copies. They finally differentiated between the score and the pocket score. From 1956 until the end of 1958, they sold 22 scores and 27 pocket scores. The Tango was therefore not a financial success in terms of sales. In the Schott documents of the balancing accounts, the Tango does not appear in its own position. The first continental printing of the piano edition, which is in colour, apparently was carried out in 1949 in London by Francis, Day & Hunter, in so far as they did not sell just the American version. In 1954, Mercury Music Corporation also printed Strawinsky's own orchestration of 1953, for which the central note of the piece, D, was raised in the piano version to E. Strawinsky received the sample copy in December 1954 and corrected it. The corrections were not however incorporated in the later version by Schott from 1956. In this version the work finishes on the wrong chord as the final note in the bass clarinet should be an E instead of a D. The second edition of the pocket score (62-6 [66]) is identical to the first edition (62-6) in terms of text and layout, the only difference being that on the outer title page, there is, flush left at the height of the publisher’s name >EDITION SCHOTT / 4569<, a slanted statement of origin >Printed in Germany<, which was cut off from being the end note on p.16; the grey texture gives a brighter effect, and the publishers’ vignette looks richer in the colour, which cannot be the result of ageing, and the 3rd line on the outer title page >für Orchester< is slightly larger (the font size of the letter >O< is 0.4 instead of 0.3; the line width remains unchanged at 3.6). The statement of origin was shortened from >Druck u. Verlag von B. Schott’s Söhne in Mainz < to >Verlag von B. Schott’s Söhne in Mainz<. As a result, the leading is enlarged between the [centred] plate number and [flush right] statement of origin. Finally, 62-6 [66]is cut shorter in the copies sampled by 1 to 2 millimetres in both width and height. – Victor Babin, with the consent of Strawinsky, made an arrangement for two pianos, which was published in 1962 in an American edition by Mercury and in 1964 as a German edition by Schott. The plans for this must have stretched back for decades. In any case, the Washington Library of Congress owns two letters written in Russian by Strawinsky to Babin from 7th August and 5th September 1941 and Strawinsky’s own corrections in pencil. Strawinsky gave up a quarter of his share of the 10 percent of the proceeds as payment for Babin. Babin’s autograph score also went into the Library of Congress. The deposit copy of the American edition was received by the British Library on the 5th November 1962, and the German edition was bought by the Library on 6th July 1964.
Print runs: There were 4 editions of the original version of the Tango for piano solo produced during Strawinsky’s lifetime after Schott publishers had acquired it, starting in 1956 and with 4,900 copies produced in total (print runs: 10th August 1956: 1,200; 24th August 1962: 1,000; 17th January 1963: 1,500; 30th June 1970: 1,200) and between Strawinsky’s death and the end of the century, 6,919 copies were printed in a further 6 editions, (print runs: 9/11/1977: 800; 3/11/1980: 800; 23/11/1982: 1,100; 19/9/1984: 1,400; 21/12/1987: 1,400; 1/2/1991: 1,400 [1,413+6]). The version for 2 pianosreceived only one print run by Schott, with a total of 1,000 copies produced during Strawinsky’s lifetime (print run: 27th February 1964). Between his death and the end of the century, there were further 4 editions with substantially smaller numbers of copies produced with a new cover (print runs: 24/3/1983: 200; 4/2/1986: 350; 12/9/1989: 300 [314+6]; 3/5/1994: 350 [360+6]). There were 2 editions of the pocket score published during Strawinsky’s lifetime, with 500 copies printed of each (print runs: 14th August 1956: 500; 4th October 1966: 500). The 3rd edition, produced after Strawinsky’s death, produced 300 copies (print run: 17/08/1979). From here to the end of the century, there were a further 2 editions, now with a new cover (print runs 10/08/1984: 300; 29/06/1993: 200 [233+6].
