This template is intended to provide a consistent and easy display for tone rows, in all forms: prime, retrograde, inverse, retrograde inversion, and inverse retrograde; and in all transpositions. Tone rows must be twelve tones long when using I, RI, and IR.

His 8 symphonies (see e.g. the article on Symphony No.1 (Op.33, 1958)) either use the twelve-tone technique, or serial techniques with other kinds of rows, or both [5] Lou Harrison. Rapunzel (1952) Symphony on G (1952) Josef Matthias Hauer. All works written after August 1919 (though the twelve-tone technique used is not Schoenberg's system)
The twelve-tone technique—also known as dodecaphony, twelve-tone serialism, and (in British usage) twelve-note composition—is a method of musical composition.The technique is a means of ensuring that all 12 notes of the chromatic scale are sounded equally often in a piece of music while preventing the emphasis of any one note [3] through the use of tone rows, orderings of the 12 pitch classes.
Serialism is a method, [9] "highly specialized technique", [10] or "way" [11] of composition. It may also be considered "a philosophy of life (Weltanschauung), a way of relating the human mind to the world and creating a completeness when dealing with a subject". [12] Serialism is not by itself a system of composition or a style.
The Grandmother chord is an eleven-interval, twelve-note, invertible chord with all of the properties of the Mother chord. Additionally, the intervals are so arranged that they alternate odd and even intervals (counted by semitones) and that the odd intervals successively decrease by one whole-tone while the even intervals successively increase by one whole-tone.
