Atonal music, when considered with regards to sound development and the achievement of the liberation of music; is remarkable. Atonal music allows the freedom of atonality, the twelve-tone technique, the overall sequence of the music in question, incidental music and even the vast majority
who is interested in classical music should attempt to understand it. Twelve tone music which was established by Schoenberg is often referred to as serialism, but strictly speaking serialism is the sequel to Schoenberg’s works, and came about in the late 1940’s. Composers, led by Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen started to apply Schoenberg’s 12-tone principle to more than just pitch.

In 1910, Busoni created one of most famous works, Fantasia Contrappuntistica, that "finished" Bach's unfinished fugue; the theme is easily noticeable in contrapuntal form. In 1923, the year Schoenberg created his twelve-tone method, he composed op. 25 Suite Für Klavier, which employs his tonal row in inversion, the B-A-C-H motive. In 1937-38, a student of Schoenberg and a purveyor of serialism, Webern used a tonal row beginning with the B-A-C-H motive to create his
poems vary widely in content, some depicting country idylls, others monstrous hallucinations or images of grotesque violence. Hartleben’s translation, by all accounts a significant improvement on the original, applies Expressionistic imagery and techniques to Giraud’s poems, heightening the already latent sensation of frenzied autobiographical narrative.

Schoenberg felt tonality had run its course. For fifteen years, he followed a path that led to his "discovery" of the "method of composing with twelve tones which are related only with one another." Schoenberg experimented with the serialization of smaller groups of notes before applying the idea to all twelve. Schoenberg's first compositions in the new, twelve-tone idiom were published in the Suite for Piano. Opus. 25 between 1921 and 1923, in which each of the six pieces is dodecaphonic. (12 note system)

intricate details that involve time, place, and setting through several techniques of writing. Language, empirical knowledge, and tone play a major role in the readers understanding of the perspective of which the story is told.

Many times throughout the novel, he uses a tone of voice in which the reader understands that the narrator is a naive
more complicated and dense narrative that conveys a message that goes far beyond the loss of his beloved poplars. I will explore the themes presented to us by the poets and the techniques, including language and form, employed by both to convey these to the reader. I will aim to show that both the poems and the techniques made use of are equally powerful in their end result, equally evocative and inspiring and equally vital to the vast root system of ‘tree poetry’ that exists today.

Many say that music is a series of sounds which contain the elements of rhythm and pitch, but most music we hear follows certain patterns beyond rhythm and pitch. Music as we know it contains key signatures and time signatures, chord progressions and other repetitive harmonies. This strict language that we have built
