"Ode-to-Napoleon" hexachord
In music, the "Ode-to-Napoleon" hexachord (also magic hexachord and hexatonic collection or hexatonic set class) is the hexachord named after its use in the twelve-tone piece Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte (1942) by Arnold Schoenberg (setting a text by Byron). Containing the pitch-classes 014589 (C, C♯, E, F, G♯, A) it is given Forte number 6-20 in Allen Forte's taxonomic system. The primary form of the tone row used in the Ode allows the triads of G minor, E♭ minor, and B minor to easily appear. It is used combinatorially in Schoenberg's Suite: Note that its complement is also 6-20.
