Multiplication (music)
The mathematical operations of multiplication have several applications to music. Other than its application to the frequency ratios of intervals (for example, Just intonation, and the twelfth root of two in equal temperament), it has been used in other ways for twelve-tone technique, and musical set theory. Additionally ring modulation is an electrical audio process involving multiplication that has been used for musical effect. A multiplicative operation is a mapping in which the argument is multiplied.
Set theory (music)
Musical set theory provides concepts for categorizing musical objects and describing their relationships. Howard Hanson first elaborated many of the concepts for analyzing tonal music. Other theorists, such as Allen Forte, further developed the theory for analyzing atonal music, drawing on the twelve-tone theory of Milton Babbitt. The concepts of musical set theory are very general and can be applied to tonal and atonal styles in any equal temperament tuning system, and to some extent more generally than that.
Tone row
In music, a tone row or note row (Reihe or Tonreihe), also series or set, is a non-repetitive ordering of a set of pitch-classes, typically of the twelve notes in musical set theory of the chromatic scale, though both larger and smaller sets are sometimes found. Tone rows are the basis of Arnold Schoenberg's twelve-tone technique and most types of serial music. Tone rows were widely used in 20th-century contemporary music, like Dmitri Shostakovich's use of twelve-tone rows, "without dodecaphonic transformations.
Musique sérielle
La musique sérielle ou le sérialisme est une technique de composition fondée sur l'utilisation de séries d'éléments musicaux. Initié en 1923 par Arnold Schönberg avec le dodécaphonisme, le sérialisme permet de composer des œuvres atonales. Ce concept englobe les musiques dont le principe de construction se fonde sur une succession rigoureusement préétablie et invariable de sons appelée série. Les rapports d'intervalle propres à la série restant stables.
Contrepoint rigoureux
thumb|Fugue (L'Offrande musicale) de Jean-Sébastien Bach, une des formes les plus élaborées du contrepoint. En musique, le contrepoint (sous-entendu rigoureux) est une forme d'écriture musicale, qui trouve ses origines avec la polyphonie, née au Moyen Âge, et qui consiste en la superposition organisée de lignes mélodiques distinctes. Le contrepoint est particulièrement utilisé pendant la Renaissance jusqu'à l'époque baroque.
