"Peter Schat here explains, with the clarity and simplicity which form two of his compositional aims, how he devised and uses his new and controversial system of composing and analyzing serial music. ""The Tone Clock"" includes analyses of musical examples and a selection of Peter Schat's polemical writings. It provides historical, political, aesthetic and environmental perspectives."
