An excellent example of tonality (both by my definition and Rosen's) in
a 12-tone work is "Ode to Napoleon", written by Schoenberg in the 40's.
Give it a listen!

I don't think Schoenberg deliberately eschewed harmonic motion (which is what
Rich seems to mean by tonality - I don't agree, but what else is new?).
Certainly the 12-tone music which I prefer does not. But you have to
remember that Schoenberg was a violinist by training (not a pianist, as
most recent composers have been). This is an indicator, at least, that
probably he just liked multi-linear textures better then harmonic ones.

Apropos to this, get out Schoenberg's Op. 1 and have a look. It's a pair of
songs with piano. You can tell it wasn't written by a pianist!
