  1. serial music

    Serial music is a method of composition that uses a series of musical notes, organized in a specific order or row, as the fundamental basis of the composition. This "series" or "row" can be manipulated in various ways, such as inversion, retrograde, or transposition, but all aspects of the music - melody, harmony, rhythm, dynamics, timbre - are derived from this initial series. The technique was developed primarily in the early 20th century, notably by composers such as Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern. It is often associated with atonal music, though not all serial music is atonal.
