96-400: A hierarchy among the notes of the chromatic scale so that they are all referentially related to one or two pitches which then function as a tonic note or chord in tonality . The system similarly creates a hierarchy among intervals and finally, among larger collections of notes, 'chords.'

288-655: The United States Army during World War II . He earned his doctorate at New York University in 1956. Perle composed with a technique of his own devising called "twelve-tone tonality". This technique was different from, but related to, the twelve-tone technique of the Second Viennese School , of which he was an "early admirer" and whose techniques he used aspects of but never fully adopted. Perle's former student Paul Lansky described Perle's twelve-tone tonality thus: Basically this creates

312-463: The signature motif , A - B - H - F (in German notation, B means B ♭ , while H means B ♮ ), to combine Alban Berg (A. B.) and Hanna Fuchs-Robettin (H. F.). This is most prominent in the third movement. Berg also quotes a melody from Zemlinsky's Lyric Symphony in movement four which originally set the words "You are mine own". In the last movement, according to Berg's self-analysis,

336-521: The "entire material, the tonal element too... as well as the Tristan motif " is developed "by strict adherence to the 12-note series". According to René Leibowitz , the first movement is "entirely written in the twelve-tone technique , [it] is a sonata movement without the development . Thus the recapitulation follows directly upon the exposition ; but, because of the highly advanced twelve-tone technique of variation , everything in this movement

360-420: The ' Composition with 12 inwardly related tones ." A set of 12 different tones gives the rough material of the composition, and the portions which have been treated more freely still adhere more or less to the technique". George Perle points out that the first movement is not strictly twelve-tone, with the opening four chords being derived not from the series but from the interval-7 cycle . The first analysis

384-402: The beginning of the recapitulation. He asks: "How could one [think] of the initial bar as 'disordered'? If anything is to be designated as an Urform here, surely it is this perfect-5th cycle, given its background role in relation to the tone row and other components of the movement." In the sixth movement, tone row 1 is while tone row 2, derived from tone row 1, is In 1928, Berg arranged

408-538: The same way that a 12-tone set does". In 1968, Perle cofounded the Alban Berg Society with Igor Stravinsky , and Hans F. Redlich , who had the idea (according to Perle in his letter to Glen Flax of 4/1/89 ).

432-605: The second, third and fourth movements of the Lyric Suite for string orchestra. According to Adorno: If the lyrical nature of the Suite is best fostered in the quartet, its dramatic nature is best fostered in the string tutti; only here are its contours dissolved as completely and enigmatically as the accompanimental concept of the sound demands; and only here does the paroxysm attain its full catastrophic force.

576-496: Was undertaken by H. F. Redlich , who notices that "the first movement of the Lyric Suite develops out of the disorder of intervals in its first bar, the notes of which, strung out horizontally, present the complete chromatic scale , and from this in the second and following bars, grows the Basic Set in its thematic shape". Theodor W. Adorno called the quartet "a latent opera". Redlich described "the concealed vocality of
