What is normal order music theory?
Normal order is a way of naming a pitch class set. Normal order is the smallest possible arrangement of pitch classes, in ascending order. To transpose a set by Tn, add n to each integer of the set. To invert a set by In, first, invert the set (take each integer's complement mod 12), then transpose by n.
How do you find the best order in music theory?
Compare the Normal Order of the original set and that of its inversion. Whichever begins with the smaller interval is then regarded as the Best Normal Order. In some cases, a set's Normal Order and that of its inversion are identical or the same when properly transposed (transpositionally equivalent).
What is normal form in set theory?
Normal form represents the notes of a pitch-class set (as they occur in the music) in their most compact form. ... In the event that two orderings have the same interval span from lowest to highest note, choose the set that has the smaller interval between the first and penultimate notes.
How do you find normal form and prime form?
Prime form
- Put the pitch class set in normal order. [10, 0, 2, 3, 5]
- Transpose the set so that the first pitch class is 0. T2 = [0, 2, 4, 5, 7]
- Invert the results from Step 2 and put the result in normal order. ...
- Transpose the set from Step 3 so that the first pitch class is 0. ...
- Compare the sets in Step 2 and Step 4.
