Music theory

a way of relating pitch-class sets by inclusion of a set or its complement, grouping sets into complexes to show the harmonic coherence of an atonal work.

In music theory, set-complex theory refers to a way of relating pitch-class sets by inclusion of a set or its complement, grouping sets into complexes to show the harmonic coherence of an atonal work. This meaning comes from Forte (1973) in The structure of atonal music.[1]
