And so my friends we have to the final video in the Stravinsky Trilogy of "How To Compose Like" In this final video we take a loo at Stravinsky's late in look turn towards serialism, and more specifically, Dodecaphony. While serialism can encompass multiple different styles of row-based music (everything from some parts of early Scriabin, Stockhausen, Xenakis, Luigi Nono, Pierre Boulez, Milton Babbitt and others) 12 tone row composition or "Dodecaphony" is a specific style of composition, pioneered by Arnold Schoenberg, of constructing a row from all 12 chromatic notes with no repeating notes in said row. During the early and middle part of his life Stravinsky's life he was often at odds with Schoenberg and dismissed 12 tone composition. However, as he aged he came to use almost exclusively 12 tone rows as his main composing device. From the late 1950s until the end of his life, Stravinsky composed almost exclusively in serialist techniques, and never again returned to his early Russian style or his neoclassicism. In this video we analyze perhaps the apex of Stravinsky's 12 tone ouevre, "The Flood"
