Just to reiterate - after re-reading Rich Rosen's article, I want to say:
Anyone who thinks 12-tone composers are unconcerned about harmonic motion,
or try to avoid it, knows damn little about 12-tone composition. Certainly
such a person has never lived in the same house with said composer.
One attempts to avoid obvious tonal progressions, but that is only for
the same reason that one doesn't try to write like Beethoven - it would
be an archaicism (is that a word?) that would only distract the listener
from more important musical bits and pieces.
won't he ever shut up?
