Twelve-tone Style Overview

Twelve-tone Music Description

Twelve-tone technique—also known as dodecaphony, twelve-tone serialism, and (in British usage) twelve-note composition—is a method of musical composition devised by Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874–1951). ... All 12 notes are thus given more or less equal importance, and the music avoids being in a key.
