A false sequence is a literal repetition of the beginning of a figure and stating the rest in sequence: [1] J.S. Bach Prelude from Cello Suite in G J.S. Bach Prelude from Cello Suite in G, BWV 1007. A modulating sequence is a sequence that leads from one tonal center to the next, with each segment technically being in a different key in some ...
The ordered sequence C-C ♯-D would be notated 0,1,2 or (0,1,2). Although C is considered zero in this example, this is not always the case. For example, a piece (whether tonal or atonal) with a clear pitch center of F might be most usefully analyzed with F set to zero (in which case {0,1,2} would represent F, F ♯ and G.
For example, a perfect fifth, say 200 and 300 Hz (cycles per second), causes a listener to perceive a combination tone of 100 Hz (the difference between 300 Hz and 200 Hz); that is, an octave below the lower (actual sounding) note. This 100 Hz first-order combination tone then interacts with both notes of the interval to produce second-order ...
A possible reason for this broader usage of terms "tonality" and "tonal" is the attempt to translate German "Tonart" as "tonality" and "Tonarten-" prefix as "tonal" (for example, it is rendered so in the seminal New Grove article "Mode", [61] etc.). Therefore, two different German words "Tonart" and "Tonalität" have sometimes been translated ...
"Mirror forms", P, R, I, and RI, of a tone row (from Arnold Schoenberg's Variations for Orchestra Op. 31, "Called mirror forms because...they are identical". [1]In music, a tone row or note row (German: Reihe or Tonreihe), also series or set, [2] is a non-repetitive ordering of a set of pitch-classes, typically of the twelve notes in musical set theory of the chromatic scale, though both ...
The original tonal sequence is telescoped, the two-bar sequences being absorbed into the silences." [3] In a similar fashion, the first of the 24 variations of Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini for piano and orchestra presents a terse summary of Paganini’s original theme.
A round is thus an example of strict imitation. Repetition is defined as the repetition of a phrase or melody often with variations in key, rhythm, and voice. Different authors define imitation somewhat differently: Real imitation[:] An imitation with no modifications except for the usual diatonic adjustment of half and whole steps. The exact ...
For example, one could learn to play Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Do-Re-Mi" song in its original 12 tone equal temperament (12 TET) and then play it with exactly the same finger-movements, on exactly the same note-controlling buttons, while smoothly changing the tuning in real time across the syntonic temperament's tuning continuum.
