Pitch-Class Collection is a theoretical construct in atonal music theory that classifies and analyzes sets of pitch classes unified by their intervallic relationships, abstracting away from octave and enharmonic distinctions to facilitate the systematic study of harmonic and melodic structures in non-tonal contexts.
