"Atonality" means the piece does not have tonal center, there's no root note. Generally speaking, a music piece (with a tonal center) has a
key (a root note A to G#), a
scale/mode (Major, minor etc), a
chord progression (e.g. I - IV - V etc), and a
melody (and the notes in the melody generally corresponds to the notes in the chord) and
form how sections of the piece or song is arranged (art music: ABAB folk:AABB or pop music: ABACAB i.e. verse chorus verse bridge verse chorus). I'm not familiar with atonal music, I don't listen to it. So I'm guessing it doesn't have some of those characteristics of tonal music, how much I don't know.
