Today’s musical dilemma: Can serial techniques be blended with other compositional methods, like tonality or free atonality, to create hybrid works? How would that affect the composition's structure and expressive potential?

A passage from Anthony Phillip Heinrich's 1825 Toccata Grande Cromatica featuring two notated 2048th notes aka demisemihemidemisemihemidemisemiquavers.
If played correctly at 40bpm they would last under 3ms, themselves entering the pitch domain to produce an F above middle C.

From a practical standpoint, is this more of an articulation, cluster chord, dynamic, or a mixture of all three? Nonetheless, love how evocative the notation is (assuming the performer notes explain this more in depth 😉)
