serialistisesti

Serialistisesti is a Swedish adverb that translates to "serially" or "in a serial manner" in English. It is primarily used in the context of music composition to describe the systematic application of serial techniques. In serialism, a series of musical elements, such as pitches, rhythms, or dynamics, is organized and manipulated according to a predetermined order. When a composer works "serialistisesti," they are adhering to these serial principles throughout their compositional process. This involves not just creating an initial series, but also developing variations and transformations of that series in a structured and logical way. The term emphasizes the methodical and organized approach to musical construction inherent in serialism. It is not a term used in everyday language but is specific to discussions and analysis of 20th and 21st-century music, particularly within the field of music theory and musicology.
