ASSIGNMENT NO. 2 Name: Nicole Llu

DUE DATE: 30 SEP 2023

1. This is the clarinet melody from Webern s Symphony Op. 21, 2nd movement.
Label all intervals of in terms of their:
(i) ordered pitch intervals (with reference to ascending or descending)
(ii) unordered pitch intervals (the absolute intervallic distance)
(iii) interval class (from 1 to 6)
An example of a melody from Schoenberg s String Quartet No. 2 has been done.

2. For each of the following sets:

a: write down the pitch class number (e.g. C = 0, C-sharp = 1, etc.)
b: find the normal order / lowest ordering with the help of the clock-faces,
rewrite the pitch classes on the staff (octave transposition may be necessary),
and show the pitch class numbers of the form
c: give the prime form
d: calculate the interval vector (i.e. content according to the interval classes)
Example are illustrated below.
