This thread is not dedicated to the Second Viennese School or the leading Darmstadt composers (be them Boulez, Maderna, Nono and Stockhausen) but all the others surrounding them and even those you wouldn't expect to find dodecaphnic works from.

Feel free to share, recommend and explore these and more composers/compositions in this thread.

Walter Piston?

"Piston studied the twelve-tone technique of Arnold Schoenberg and wrote works using aspects of it as early as the Sonata for Flute and Piano (1930) and the First Symphony (1937). His first fully twelve-tone work was the Chromatic Study on the Name of Bach for organ (1940), which nonetheless retains a vague feeling of key.[16] Although he employed twelve-tone elements sporadically throughout his career, these become much more pervasive in the Eighth Symphony (1965) and many of the works following it: the Variations for Cello and Orchestra (1966), Clarinet Concerto (1967), Ricercare for Orchestra, Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra (1970), and Flute Concerto (1971)."

I have no clue if this is correct but I read that Frank Martin's Petite symphonie concertante and Rolf Liebermann's Concerto for Jazz band and orchestra are dodekaphonic. If this is true, they are quite accessible, the latter even a "fun" piece. It is also remarkable how "cool", "serene" and completely different from the "overheated Schoenberg Hauer's pieces (I have heard one disc) are.

Thank you for this recommendation, very sensual, beatiful work.
