This media depicts a
tone row
outside of a specific musical context. Rows consist of an ordering of the chromatic scale (no "
distinctiveness
"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and may not be readily apparent in compositions. As such, a tone row is a musical concept or technique, which is considered
too simple to be eligible
for
copyright protection
, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input.
