retrograde inversion

The retrograde is the prime form backward. The inversion is the original row with all intervals in the row inverted (going in the opposite direction of the original).

Moving backwards; A device used by composers where a series of notes (comprising a figure or theme) is brought back later in the composition, but written backwards. This device is essential in twelve-tone music.

Retrograde is simply reversing the order of notes. So if you have A B C G the retrograde would be G C B A. Inversion is when you reverse the intervals in order. For example A B C G is up a major 2nd, up a minor 2nd, up a perfect 5th.

This. And we're just going to flip it the way you flip it is just like this and then i'm gonna play it. Again.

To invert a chord or an interval is to rearrange its notes so that the original bottom note becomes an upper note; for example, An interval (such as c′–f′) and its inversion (f′–c″) are complementary: together they form an octave. A three-note chord (triad) can be inverted twice from its original, or root, position.

Retrograde describes backwardness of one kind or another. If a country decided to go back to amputating the limbs of criminals, we might call that policy retrograde. A retrograde view of women might be one that sees them basically as housekeepers.

The word "retrograde" is used to describe backward motion. Science shows us that all the planets in our solar system move in one direction on elliptical paths around the sun, meaning retrograding planets only appear to be moving in reverse as we view them from our perspective on Earth.

What does it mean for a planet to be in retrograde? When we say that a planet is in retrograde it means that from the perspective of Earth, a planet's motion across the sky goes backwards night after night compared to its usual direction for a period of time.

Retrograde motion is the orbital motion of a spatial body in a direction that is opposite of what is normal in a given system. “Retrograde” is derived from the Latin words retro, backwards, and gradus, step. In the Solar system, all major planets orbit the Sun counterclockwise as seen from Polaris.

Retrograde describes backwardness of one kind or another. If a country decided to go back to amputating the limbs of criminals, we might call that policy retrograde. A retrograde view of women might be one that sees them basically as housekeepers.

'Inversion' means reversing (inverting) the normal subject–verb word order in a sentence. We can use inversion to add emphasis, especially in formal English. It is common, for example, in political speeches, because it has a persuasive and impressive effect.

Types of Inversions in Music Theory For example, when playing a C major scale, the musician plays C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C, one octave above the original C. The first step of the scale is C, the third step is E, and the fifth step is G, so a C major triad would contain the notes C, E, and G.
