A 12-note row is a sequence of the twelve unique pitches in the chromatic scale, used in twelve-tone serialism, a technique developed by composer Arnold Schoenberg. Each note in the row can only appear once before any pitch can be repeated, creating a basis for melodic and harmonic material in a composition. This method aims to ensure equal treatment of all notes, avoiding traditional tonal hierarchies. Composers can manipulate the row through various transformations, such as inversion or retrograde, to generate musical ideas.
