Music Theory Friday: the 12-tone technique

from Between the Barlines

Welcome to Between the Barlines! It’s MUSIC THEORY FRIDAY! This is the first one we’ve had in a while, but I really wanted to talk about the topic we have on the docket today more in-depth. This topic is dodecaphony or the 12-tone technique. Our basic definition for this is a compositional system where all 12 notes of the chromatic scale are treated equally.
