We looked at a Schoenberg piece in freshman theory where he used a
three-note tone row over and over again in both melodic and harmonic
forms.  None of the harmonies violated it.  I believe it was 0, 1, 4.
I don't recall the piece, but it was pretty strict.  The tone row was
not merely a melodic rule.  The harmonic rules of his system may not
have been tonal, but they existed.
