Test 3

Question 1

12 tone method

Answer 1

• serialism
• uses all 12 tones in a specific order
• Schoenberg wanted to unify a succession of tones that are like a motive

Question 2

prime

Answer 2

row form-

Question 3

matrix

Answer 3

shows inversions of the prime row form that can be used in the piece

Question 4

prime

Answer 4

• row form
• 1st row
• follows same interval pattern as the prime

Question 5

retrograde

Answer 5

• row form

- the prime form backwards

Question 6

inversion

Answer 6

• row form

- the opposite interval pattern of the prime

Question 7

retrograde inversion

Answer 7

• row form

- the retrograde and inversion of the prime form

Question 8

index numbers

Answer 8

-P I R RI

Question 9

order numbers

Answer 9

-number of half steps above 0

Question 10

partitioning

Answer 10

• parts of a row in different parts - can be used as accompaniment
• hexachord

Question 11

temporal axis of symmetry

Answer 11

• rhythmic symmetry

- think of the palindrome stuff

Question 12

Webernian revolution 2 main points

Answer 12

• bass moves to the middle (everything is oriented towards the middle, there is no functioning bass line that tells you what’s going on harmonically)
• tones have progressions in and of themselves (klanfarbermelodie, melody of different colors)

Question 14

Babbit- 3 Compositions for Piano no1

Answer 14

Question 15

integral serialism

Answer 15

-use of a series for aspects such as dynamics, rhythm, duration, register, and pitch

Question 16

ordinal matrix

Answer 16

-matrix based on the order they appear in the prime form

Question 17

Webern Op 27 Variations for Piano

Answer 17

• temporal axis of symmetry

- registral axis of symmetry

Question 18

Schoenberg Op 26 - Wind Quartet

Answer 18

• partitioning

- 12 tone row

Question 19

Babbit- 3 Compositions for Piano no1

Answer 19

• integral serialism
• rhythm order - 5142
• durational series
• attack points

Question 20

Webern Op 24 Concerto for Nine Instruments

Answer 20

• temporal axis of symmetry
• pointilism
• paritioning

Question 21

Boulez Structures Book Ia

Answer 21

• integral serialism
• uses 2 matrices (ordinal)
• 48 durational row

Question 22

Berio O King

Answer 22

• 21 tone row
• integral serialism
• 20 durational row
• isorhythmic motet

Question 23

Schoenberg’s Music

Answer 23

• more chords
• more melodic melody and accompaniment (melody signaled with H)
• dynamics
• texture is more sustained in accompaniment

Question 24

Webern’s Music

Answer 24

• 2 points

- klanfarbenmelodie

Question 25

Babbit’s Music

Answer 25

pitch- most like Schoenberg, classical serialism, 12 tone set, intuitively chooses different row forms
rhythm- 5142 #series, generates additional # series- more flexible (group sings, attack points are separated by rests or longer notes etc, duration)

Question 26

Boulez’s Music

Answer 26

pitch - 2 matrices, uses every row form & transposition once - in a particular order
rhythm- 2 matrices, 48 unique durational rows, uses every row & transposition in a specific order

Question 27

Berio’s Music

Answer 27

pitch - 21 tone row (7 fixed pitches), row repeats over and over, other 5 pitch classes created accompaniment/counterpoint
rhythm- 20 value duration, eighth note x # = duration
