ID: list-of-dodecaphonic-and-serial-compositions

Dodecaphony, or twelve-tone technique, is a method of musical composition devised by Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg in the early 20th century. It involves using all twelve tones of the chromatic scale in a particular order (known as a tone row) as the basis for a composition, while aiming to avoid establishing a traditional tonal center. Serialism extends this concept beyond just pitch to encompass other musical elements such as rhythm, dynamics, and timbre.
