Alternatively, transpositional combinatoriality is the lack of shared pitch classes between a hexachord and one or more of its transpositions. For example, 0 2 4 6 8 t, and its transposition up one semitone (+1): 1 3 5 7 9 e, have no notes in common.

In the first example, Rodolfo's first aria in La sonnambula (1831), the portamento is indicated by the slur between the third and fourth notes. The second example, Judit's first line in Bluebeard's Castle (1912) by composer Béla Bartók, employs an inclining, wavy line between the fourth and fifth notes to indicate a continuous, steady rise in pitch.
Tachisme is closely related to Informalism or Art Informel, which, in its 1950s French art-critical context, referred not so much to a sense of "informal art" as "a lack or absence of form itself"–non-formal or un-form-ulated–and not a simple reduction of formality or formalness.
