RETROGRADE - The term "retrograde" can be used in (at least) two contexts. First, a retrograde progression refers to chord root movement that is opposite to the usual direction of resolution. The most common example is a subdominant progression (IV -> I). Alternatively, the term may be applied to a sequence of notes which is a reversal of a previous fragment in a melody, theme, voice or motif. - A section of a piece played in retrograde inversion has all its intervals reversed, and played in reverse order. The basic melody upon which the retrograde, inversion, and retrograde inversion is based is called the prime. Diin mali td2 man?
