the twelve tone system
The twelve-tone system was invented by Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg in the early 20th century. This technique organizes the twelve pitches of the chromatic scale into a series or "row," which serves as the basis for a composition. Schoenberg's students, particularly Alban Berg and Anton Webern, further developed and popularized this system, contributing to the evolution of serialism in music.

A twelve-tone scale is commonly referred to as the "chromatic scale." This scale consists of all twelve pitches within an octave, each a semitone apart. It serves as a fundamental framework in Western music, particularly in atonal compositions, where no single tone is emphasized over others. Another related concept is "twelve-tone technique," developed by composer Arnold Schoenberg, which involves using all twelve tones in a specific order without repeating them.

Schoenberg was credited with it's creation, but Alban Berg started using Dodecaphony in 1912, three years before Schoenberg. Schoenberg did, however, innovate the twelve-tone system.
