Musical Information

• whether the tone rows appearing in the search results were used by other composers and were already collected to our database.
• whether there are properties of tone rows common to different tone rows of one composer.
• whether different composers used similar orbits of tone rows, where similarity means, that the tone rows belong to the same orbit. In order to study different degrees of similarity we consider the D₁₂ × D₁₂-orbits as similarity of highest degree, and the 𝔄₁₂-orbits, which are the biggest orbits, as the weakest degree of similarity.

• The individual tone row, the number of its D₁₂ × D₁₂-orbit, and its position in this orbit.
• The name of the composer, and sometimes also a web-link to further information on the composer.
• The title of the composition, and sometimes also a web-link to further information on the composition.
• The date when the piece was composed.
• Some further information if available.

As a matter of fact, at the moment we have more than 1200 entries of musical information in our database. Of course this is not enough for doing some statistical analysis or to suggest trends in the usage of certain types of tone rows. However, we try to collect further tone rows and data. Therefore it is possible to input new musical information by the different users of the database.

There are more than 500 entries with tone rows by J.M. Hauer. All tone rows from the Second Viennese School and a selection of compositions until today are input.
