| Description | The paper focuses on modal, serial and interval musical composition with references to Alois Piňos' generalizing theoretical work. Modality (e.g., a lot of classical European music) stems from selections of tones (rarely: intervals-pitches); the series of tones (especially melodies) are secondary. Serialism stems from selections of series (e.g. common serialism); the tone background is secondary. In one musical composition, a piece of musical segment might be exploited both ways, with different amount of demonstrativeness. |
