12 Tone Composition for Piano


Recommended Posts

Thanks to SimenN, i have been inspired with a drive to create an atonal piece, of course, using schoenberg's 12 tone technique.

I have come up with a tone row, that is, ONE 12 tone scale without retragrades and inversions...its just the ONE tone row...and i thought to myself, why not create a collaborative piece based on this tone row.

I know this could go into the Collaborative catergory, but i thought, it would be much better posting in the Piano Works folder because: Using this 12 tone row...i want everyone to come up with a different way they would write this for piano.

The Tone Row is:

Ab G F# D B C# A F Bb C E Eb

using any rhythm or whatever drive, i want as many people as possible to write a short piece using this tone row.

I will then, after lets say 10 people submit, put them all together, and record myself playing it, just for the sake of it.

It will be an interesting experiment, and I will add my own 'variation' on the row shortly. Please write in score form so that i can at least learn it.

Its open to artistic license, and you can feel free to use chords and what not to go with it.

PLEASE ONLY WRITE FOR PIANO...if you write for anything else, well that would sound lovely, but would be stupid as i cant play anything other than the piano.

Hopefully everyone made sense of my post, as it is rather messy, and hopefully you will join in.
