This work attempts to view serialism in a complex way, synthesizing analytical, partially historical and comparative points of view. It outlines reasons for and consequences of its creation, describes its basic rules and possibilities of utilization, and introduces its main representatives, authors as well as those who further developed this technique. This work also compares other approaches to composition made of twelve halftones of temperated chromatics and compares principles (methods) of present organization of tone material (tonal system, modal system and serialism). As serialism is, to a certain extent, a synthetic method (it partially utilizes a number of preceding organizational principles and methods), this work also pays attention to anticipations of serialism. It attempts to analyze these individual principles and methods within serialism and find analogical examples in the course of previous historical development of music language. The uniqueness of serialism lies in its unique synthesis of earlier organizational principles. However, serialism is not just a synthesis! The serialism technique is original in its way of work, which is evidenced by the above mentioned change of paradigm; synthesis of previous methods and principles of tone pitch organization is just one of its manifestations. Serialism (dodecaphony) was the first technique which influenced modern music development (in connection with the change of music thinking - transition from tonal to atonal way of expression). It influenced the formation of music language of later composers, who have utilized, to various degrees, serialism within their means of expression in their attempt to seek the newest way of music expression and thinking. The submitted thesis aims at pinpointing and describing these phenomena. With a bit of overstatement
