# A Legacy From My Teenager Times When I was in high school, I composed this for a music class. Since I didn't know much about music theory at that time, I just did what I wanted. But I occasionally remind it even now. I think it was really good. Considering that it was composed by someone who don't know much about music theory. I tried to construct something like a topological space with a motive I arbitrarily came up. To be a topology, there are some conditions to meet. For example X, {} <- T. So this music starts with X and {}. But I wasn't restricted by those rules. Since {} = X^c, I also came up inversion and treated it like complement. Retrograde too. And I did the Inversion Retrograde as the intersection of the two. Since finite intersections belong to T. Though I didn't know any of those musical terms at that time. Also I constructed the left hand part to make it like a fugue. First it starts only with the right hand side. Then it repeats with the left hand side. But I don't remember how it was exactly like. All I remember is that I constructed it by applying some mathematical rules to the right hand side. Much like how Bach did. But I didn't think about Bach at that time. ## Construction 4/4. Every note has the same length. The left hand side was the same. ' means an octave over. , means an octave under. Note that I didn't use these terms at that time. This is just how I remember it. X (Motive) = C E- F G | A- G F A- | G F E- B- | A- B B- D' E'- B- B A- | B- G- A- B- | A- G- F G- | A- G- F D {} = X^c = | | | | | | Inv X (X^-1) = C' A G G- | E F G E | F G A D | E D- D B-, A, D D- E | D G- E D | E G- G G- | E G- G B- Ret X (X^r) = D F G- A- | G- F G- A- | B- A- G- B- | A- B B- E'- D' B- B A- | B- E- F G | A- F G A- | G F E- C InvRet X ((X^r)^-1) = B- G G- E | G- G G- E | D E G- D | E D- D A, B-, D D- E | D A G F | E G F E | F G A C' If I make it now, I would do Retrograde Inversion instead.
