Morty Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Hi, I'm going to be applying to a music school in composition, and I was thinking about trying my hand at a 12-tone composition as one of my submissions - I don't know how it'll turn out, if it'll be any good, but it's something I'm interested in anyway, and I thought it might be good to get sort of a basic understanding. I haven't really found a good resource that explains how to use 12-tone, rather than simply an encyclopedia-type article about it - can anybody recommend one? Also, although I've heard a fair amount of 12-tone works, I realized I haven't followed the scores of any - if you were to suggest the best piece to listen to to get a better grasp of it, especially from a composer's perspective, what would it be? (And do you know where I can find a score of it online?) Thanks! Quote

That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Quote
