In 1947, Babbitt wrote his Three Compositions for Piano, which are the earliest examples of total serialization in music, pre-dating Olivier Messiaen's "Mode de valeurs et d'intensités" by two years, and Pierre Boulez's "Polyphonie X" by four. The Composition for Four Instruments of the following year was Babbitt's first use of total serialism for instrumental ensemble.

In other words: Babbitt owned those Frenchies.
