Twelve-tone Composition

Twelve-Tone Composition is a method of musical composition that belongs to the class of serial techniques and is distinguished by the systematic organization of all twelve chromatic pitch classes into a fixed ordered sequence, or tone row, which serves as the structural basis for a piece, ensuring no pitch class is repeated until all others have been sounded.
