The problem with completely atonal music is it lacks any sort of organisation, as Schoenberg realised after composing Erwartung. The idea of using note rows (series, hence serialism) was to impose some sort of system in place of chaos. There are plentry of examples of 12-note rows in tonal music. Shostakovich, I think, and even Alwyn after a fashion.
