Developing Motif
Next we are going to develop the motif using variations.
4a. There are many ways of varying the motif to make the music more interesting. Most commonly, repetition could be used to establish the motif and here are some examples of developing the motif:
4b. Mirror
4c. Inversion
4d. Inversion + mirrored rhythm
4e. Diminution
4f. Augmentation which could lead to become the bass line
