Dodecaphonic Intermediate Piano Solo. Here’s an accessible introduction to 12-Tone music. You may be surprised by how melodic it actually sounds. A dodecaphonic piece for a constellation with twelve letters in its name, although it was shortened to Pyxis, the Compass from Pyxis Nautica, the Mariner’s Compass. I chose the original Tone Row by drawing from a hat. The original row is: B, C, C#/Db, G#/Ab, A#/Bb, D, E, G, A F#/Gb, F, D#/Eb. The rows are used in the original order, inverted, retrograde, and inverted retrograde, and have been transposed. See the accompanying chart. From “88 Constellations” a collection by Heather Cattanach featuring one piece of piano music for each of the 88 constellations (to match the number of keys on a standard piano). Performance Time 40 seconds. 1 page + chart. (General Instructional, Modern, 20th Century, Repertoire, Recital, Schoenberg).
