Twelve-tone technique

Twelve-tone technique (also dodecaphony) is a system of musical composition devised by Arnold Schoenberg. Music using the technique is called twelve-tone music. Josef Matthias Hauer also developed a similar system using unordered hexachords, or tropes, at the exact same time and country but with no connection to Schoenberg.

Schoenberg himself described the system as a "method of composing with 12 notes which are related only to one another".
