Classical and Arabic music.
______________
The scale used for tone rows is called the dodecaphonic or chromatic scale. "Do deca" is two and ten, meaning that the scale is made up of all twelve tones in the standard western musics. Arabic music makes use of notes that are outside of the dodecaphonic scale. Tone rows are commonly used in the composition of what is called atonal music. Actually, it is not atonal, but dodecatonal. Atonal music is harmonically atonal, since there is no relationship to a tonic, or key in the music.

What is the arrangement of pitches in a piece of twelve-tone music called?
The arrangement of pitches in a piece of twelve-tone music is called a "tone row" or "series." This sequence consists of all twelve pitches of the chromatic scale, used in a specific order to form the basis of the composition. The tone row can be manipulated through various techniques, such as inversion, retrograde, and transposition, to create the musical material throughout the piece.
A tone row is based on a scale?
A tone row is based on a _______ scale.A. majorB. minorC. chromaticD.pentatonic
What kind of scale is tone row based on?
Tone rows are not based on scales, they are a series of tones in a particular order. The most classic tone row is a 12 tone row. In western music there are only 12 possible tones, then they repeat themselves. A 12 tone row puts all possible tones in a particular order that the composer develops. The row is then plugged into a matrix which transposes the row in several ways, reverses it and retrogrades it. The resulting matrix gives the only possibilities that notes can be ordered in that particular piece of music. It is like a mathematical/musical game. This is why 12 tone music sounds so dissonant and harsh to most listeners. Even professional musicians who are not trained and skilled in 12 tone structures can find it difficult to follow the different patterns as they progress in the piece, and frankly many don't see the point of trying to do so. The original idea was to free music from all constraints of having a tonal 'center' (having the sound of being written in a specific key) or of being bound by any of the standard rules of harmony. That's why you really can't say that tone rows are based on a 'key'; that's part of what is deliberately avoided. However, you could say informally that tone rows come from a dodecaphonic (12 sounds) or chromatic scale (all the keys on a piano played in order, from any starting point). You wouldn't refer to a scale by letter-name.
What does 'hexachordal' mean?
In music, a hexachord is a collection of six pitch classes including six-note segments of a scale or tone row.
What is the basis for writing music in the twelve-tone system?
Twelve-tone music uses a "row" as opposed to a "scale" or "mode" for its melodies and harmonies. The composer constructs a row by putting the twelve semi-tones of the octave in aparticular order - and depending on what order it will (to an extent) govern the overall feel of the piece. The notes of the row are then used to compose the piece; each note appearing in order throughout it. The composer can manipulate the row by using compositional techniques like inversion and retrograde, among others. Plus, there are a number of rules that allow for certain exceptions and repeated notes.The whole idea behind 12 tone music is to have all twelve notes constantly circling so that no one note takes precedence over the others like the tonic does in tonal music. This creates an ambiguous tonality and the composer can concentrate on motifs and textures without worrying about which note is supposed to comes next (however, in practice, I have found that composers probably spend even more time thinking about note choice using 12 tone than they do writing tonal music).

What is the twelve tone technique?
The twelve-tone technique, developed by composer Arnold Schoenberg in the early 20th century, is a method of musical composition that uses all twelve notes of the chromatic scale in a specific sequence, or "tone row." Each note is given equal importance, eliminating traditional tonal hierarchies and allowing for atonality. Composers create variations of the tone row through techniques such as inversion, retrograde, and transposition, resulting in a structured yet innovative approach to music. This technique significantly influenced modern classical music and paved the way for later avant-garde movements.
