[John Cage, in Zen complacency about not being featured on Quiz 11 (20th-Century Music III) -- take-home worksheet, due back as an attached pdf or jpg to mus21stc@gmail.com (or my school email), by 6pm, Friday, ... which is, of course, also turn-in time for Notes (c. 300-500 words) on Lecture-Playlist or Wikipedia / YouTube original in-your-own-words research]
Write your own 4-Note Passage (Prime), followed by its Retrograde (Backwards),
Inversion (Upside-Down), and Retrograd-Inversion (Backwards Upside-Down)
Example:
Prime: DEAG
Retrograde: GADE (the above backwards)
Inversion: DCGA (start with first note of Prime,
inverting intervals... D to E is a 2nd up, in Prime
so, D to C is a 2nd down, in Inversion, etc.
Retrograde-Inversion: AGCD (backwards of the Inversion)
