The twelve-tone technique devised and called the Twelve -tone Row by ArnSchoenberg.
Gradual abandonment of tonality after World War II.Western music prior to the 20 th century is a music called tonal.
Tonal organized around a single tone or pitch in major or minor scale systems Atonal music in which tonality is absent Arnold Schoenberg one of the first to compose atonal music. Known as the twelve-tone
technique, Schoenbergs method organized all twelve tones of the chromatic scale in a tone rowwhich then becomes the musical idea of a composition
Atonal music - derived from the twelve-tone chromatic scale in which each tone is considereof equal importance.
- In this system, there is no tonic.- Every note is the tonic.- There is no central tone nor a feeling of gravitation to one key or one tone.
1950s the twelve-tone system was adopted by many composers including the leading comptonal music, Stravinsky.
The shift from tonality to Schoenbergs Twelve -tone Row was probably due to the comdiscovery that the twelve-tone system was a compositional technique rather than a special mustyle.

and variations Vocabulary is rooted in set theory and uses a quasi-mathematicallanguage to describe how the basic sets are manipulated toproduce the final result
