    Hanns Jelinek was an Austrian composer of Czech descent who was known for using the twelve-tone technique in his compositions from 1934 onwards. He studied briefly with Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg and taught at the Vienna Academy of Music later in his career.

    Hanns Jelinek studied briefly with Arnold Schoenberg in 1918-1919 and privately with Alban Berg, both of whom influenced him to write works using the twelve-tone technique. He also studied with Franz Schmidt at the Vienna Academy of Music from 1920-1922.

    Jelinek employed the twelve-tone technique in all of his works given an opus number from 1934 onwards. In some works like his Three Blue Sketches op. 25 from 1956, he combined dodecaphony with jazz. He was an early proponent and advocate of twelve-tone composition.
