Question 1

Invariance

Answer 1

refers to the preservation of some aspect of a row under transposition or inversion

Question 2

Palindrome

Answer 2

word sentence or figure that can be read the same forward and backward

Question 3

Symmetrical rows

Answer 3

rows that cam be read forward and backward and their intervals will be exactly preserved

Question 4

Combinatoriality/Combinatorial rows

Answer 4

rows that can produce some transposition, inversion,, retrograde, and/or retrograde inversion in which the first six pitch classes will be completely different from the first six pitch classes in the original row.

Question 5

hexachordal combinatoriality

Answer 5

the type of combinatoriality that involves the segmentation of the row into hexachords

Question 6

Question 9

retrograde inversion combinatoriality

Answer 9

a row is combinatorial with a retrograde inversion form of itself

Question 10

all combinatorial hexachords

Answer 10

6 hexachords that feature all 4 types of combinaoriality

Answer 11

13 hexachords that are I-combinatorial

Question 12

rotation

Answer 12

the row is taken in order but at a different starting note

Question 13

rotational array

Answer 13

divide the row into two hexachords where each hexachord is independently rotated

Question 14

multiserialism/total serialism/integral serialism
