	Inversion (music)
		Inversional equivalency is the concept that intervals, chords, and other sets of pitches are the same when inverted.
		Inversional equivalency is used little in tonal theory, though it is assumed a set which may be inverted onto another are remotely in common.
		In musical set theory inversion may be usefully thought of as the compound operation transpositional inversion, which is the same sense of inversion as in the Inverted melodies section above, with transposition carried out after inversion.

		Inversion - As applied to music the term may be used in both melody and harmony.
		Harmonic inversion: the position of the chord is changed from root position (root on the lowest pitch) to first inversion, with the third, or second inversion, with the fifth in the lowest voice.

	Inversion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		When the third of the chord is in the lowest voice of the music, the chord is a "first inversion", when the fifth of the chord is in the lowest voice, the chord is said to be a "second inversion".
		Within an octave, the inversion of a second is a seventh, the inversion of a third is a sixth, the inversion of a fourth is a fifth.
		This is used in Medieval and Renaissance counterpoint, in Baroque fugues, and in 20th century twelve-tone music.

	Inversion (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus a 6/4 chord refers to a chord in second inversion, and is often seen with roman numeral analyses of harmonic function.
		(ii) A notation for chord inversion often used in popular music is to write the name of a chord, followed by a forward slash, and then the name of the note that is to sound in the bass.
		Inversional equivalency or inversional symmetry is the concept that intervals, chords, and other sets of pitches are the same when inverted.

	Music Theory: Chords
		The 1 in the first inversion is the tonic above the 3; in the second inversion, both the 1 and 3 are the notes in the octave above the 5.
		The 6 indicates that the interval spanned by the triad is a sixth.
		The second inversion is indicated with a superscript 6 and 4, indicating that, as with the first inversion, the interval spanned by the triad is a sixth, but unlike the first inversion, the interval between the bottom two notes in the triad is now a fourth.

		The smallest interval in western music is the half-step.
		A chord voicing is different from a chord inversion in that a note can be skipped or repeated in a chord voicing.
		One thing to keep in mind about voicings and inversions is that with bigger chords, voicings/inversions become increasingly important as to how the chord sounds.

		It is recognized that atonal music often achieves a certain degree of unity through the recurrent use of a new kind of motive.
		In tonal music, inversion can be applied to a chord, an interval, or a melodic line, but inverting a single pitch is meaningless.
		Without bothering to notate the inversion, we can see that the set is already in best normal order because its first interval (M2) is smaller than the first interval of its inversion (m3).

	Set Theory Primer
		It is maintained by some theorists that the reduction in the Forte primes is valid because of the "atonal" context for which set theory was designed; i.e., major and minor chords are the same in an "atonal" context.
		Inversion is achieved by projecting intervals of a set in the opposite direction.
		But, recall that 6 is its own inversion; therefore, the number of invariant pcs is double the number in the ic6 position; i.e., t6 also results in 6 invariant pcs).

		A second inversion occurs when a three note chord is arranged so that the fifth of the chord is the lowest sounding pitch.
		The tone of a single pitch played on a musical instrument may be very rich in overtones, yet we perceive it as one pitch – that of the fundamental frequency.
		Proficiency in music is gained when the association between the notation, the instrument, and the sound is made.

	Fuzzy Logic and Musical Decisions
		The final answer should be a number that can be used to rotate the chord to the desired inversion: 0 to produce a root, 2 to produce first inversion, 1 to produce second.
		The value for member 0 is a vote for root positon, the value in 1 is a vote for first inversion, and the value in 2 is a vote for second inversion.
		We evaluate the predicate of the rule "too many first inversions" by looking in the "too many" set at the position that corresponds to the number of times the first inversion has occured.

	Newsletter for musicians
		This is a good starter exercise for practicing inversions: it's in a ii-V-I framework, so you know you're making music; it works all the inversions of three out of the four fundamental triad types; it takes you from one end of the fretboard to the other.
		That is, create inversions whose melody notes fall on strings B and G. The one fundamental triad type not covered by this exercise is the augmented triad.
		What we have here is one simple, musical way of turning this "harmonized scale" hoity-toity talk into a practical piece of music that you can practice.

		While the newest music in this evening's recital was written nearly 80 years ago, it carries with it still the fierce and daunting reputation of its creator.
		By 1909, the largely self-taught Schoenberg, a devoted student of the musical traditions which preceded him, had decided that a step beyond the enormous legacies of Brahms and Wagner would free him to explore means of expression which could sustain a relevance to his changing world.
		Our expectations must be re-calibrated for a music in which sensations come by the "thousands simultaneously" in an unfamiliar vocabulary.

		in music a sound or note of indefinite pitch is one of which it is impossible or relatively difficult to discern the pitch or frequency of the fundamental, as opposed to sounds of definite pitch.
		Whatever cultural interpretation he made of the music is a generic one based on Lewis Henry Morgan's theory of "cultural evolutionary stages." Arthur Farwell's source of Native melodies came from the work of Alice Fletcher and Francis LaFlesche, whose research focused on the Omaha nation and dealt extensively with cultural context.
		in music, inharmonicity is the degree to which the frequencies of the overtones of a fundamental differ from whole number multiples of the fundamental's frequency.

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Inversion of Intervals
		Inversion offers a neat way of working out the names of intervals larger than an augmented fourth.
		Instead of counting semitones (half steps) to determine the type of sixth, invert it to B flat-D. Now you have a third, you can count the semitones (half steps), four, and determine that it is a major third.
		Where intervals are identified by ratio, (for example, a fifth may be expressed as 3/2), the inversion is determined by reversing the ratio and multiplying by 2, in this case 4/3, which is the ratio of a fourth.

	Chord (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music and music theory a chord is any collection of notes or pitches that appear simultaneously, or near-simultaneously over a period of time.
		Second inversion: The fifth is in the bass, and above it are the root and the third.
		Note that, in traditional music theory, the inclusion of the third in either the suspended second or suspended fourth chords negates the effect of suspension, and such chords are properly called added ninth and added eleventh chords rather than suspended chords.

		His music sparked the interest of Sergei Diaghilev, who knew that Stravinsky would be the ideal composer to write ballet music for his Russian Ballet.
		Briefly, serial music is based on a twelve-note progression of distinct pitches, which are repeated, along with variations.
		These variations include the retrograde, which is the sequence backwards; the inversion, which changes a rising interval to the corresponding falling interval, and vice versa, in the progression; and the retrograde inversion.

	Symmetry as a Compositional Determinant: VII Bartok & Webern
		Afterwards, its inversion is stated in imitation through the retrograde inversion of the original entry pattern (backwards through the circle of fifths and inverted in registration), converging at bar 78 on A again.
		Since the B sections are the only music containing thirty-second note motion and the A sections are the only music containing solely sixteenths, the tempos are symmetric in the form.
		Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste and Webern's Variations for Piano were composed in the same year, 1936, notable especially considering their intensive uses of symmetry and their remarkably coincident tone centers (A4).
