| Unfolding,
Ausfaltung, The technique of making horizontal (melodic)
one or more intervals that are conceptually simultaneous at deeper
levels. A double unfolding involves a pair of intervals. Unfoldings
can take place on many different structural
levels. The example illustrates two instances of unfolding in Part A of Variation 16. The first unfolds D and 
of I and the second unfolds C and F of V. In each case the upper note
is the primary melodic tone. |
