As in other forms of generation, we will procede from Basic Materials, through Transformations, to the finished product. In this case, the Basic Materials consist of - a complete, detailed Chord Pattern, placed on the harmonic staff, above the music staves, with the fundamentalOrbit 1toOrbit 1line, ins, placed just below the harmonic staff, on the top music staff. The Transformations, on the following music staves, consist of 1. changing to the secondary orbit lines while maintaining theLevel 0note-values (s) 2. progressing to the note-values of smaller levels, (,,), constantly adding the secondary Orbit Lines and Non-chordal Tones. 3. Finally operating whatever Rhythmic Transformation is required to produce
Ternary Levels. The Melody appears, complete and colored, in the last music staff.

The A section We first see the harmonic staff with the chord PatternM5664 TONIC / TONIC \ COUNTER / TONIC \ COUNTER / TONIC \ DOMINANT / TONIC. Then, the fundamentalOrbit 1toOrbit 1line, ins, the notes C / G \ F / G \ F / G \ D / C. The opening notes C / G are bothOrbit 1on account of theMetamorphosis 1. Then, changes to the secondary orbit lines - Orbit 2toOrbit 1, in the second cell, the notes A / G, and Orbit 1toOrbit 2, in the third cell, the notes F / E. Then, in the smaller note-valuesofLevel -1, we have neither secondary Orbit-lines or Non-chordal tones to add, because each
note is simply repeated. The "A" section appears, complete and colored.
The B section We first see the harmonic staff with the chord PatternM3333 TONIC / DOMINANT \ TONIC / DOMINANT \ TONIC / DOMINANT \ TONIC / DOMINANT. Then, the fundamentalOrbit 1toOrbit 1line, ins, the notes C / D \ C / D \ C / D \ C / D. Then, changes to the secondary orbit lines - Orbit 0toOrbit 3, in the first and thid cells, the notes G / F, and Orbit 2toOrbit 1, in the second and fourth cells, the notes E / D . Then, in the smaller note-valuesofLevel -1, we have neither secondary Orbit-lines or Non-chordal tones to add, because each
note is simply repeated. The "B" section appears, complete and colored.
