This is an idea used to great fruition in Ligeti's Music Ricercata for solo piano. There are 11 pieces each ranging from just under a minute to about 4 minutes. Each one from the first one uses a growing amount of notes - the first piece uses only 2 pitches, next one only 3, then 4, etc., until piece 11, which uses all 12.

6 is good - I might try my hand at it.
