 A
basic approach to compose a song is to repeat a sequence of tones again and again. If this
is done correctly, the restatement of the sequence of tones will help to make the musical
piece easier to remember and more recognizable. Musical restatements are very similar to
geometric transformations. A geometric figure like a triangle can be relocated while
preserving its size and shape.

If musical notes are placed at the vertices of the triangle below and the triangle is
moved horizontally from position A to position B. What musical notes should be in position
B?


In musical application, the notes will repeat accordingly as shown below.


If the triangle in position I reflects to position II, what is the musical reflection of
the notes?

Estimate the answer:
The notes will repeat

The notes will reflect horizontally.

The notes will reflect vertically.
