This article aims to describe the compositional planning of XXXX based on the scalar techniques, proposed by Tymoczko (2011) for his analysis of the 20th century compositions, mainly in certain works by Debussy and Shostakovich. The treatment given to such techniques by these composers inspired the elaboration of gestures and musical structures of the new original work. The scalar techniques and their specific approaches showed significant potential for planning new compositions, expanding and diversifying the repertoire of compositional techniques.
