Rotational relationships are easily identified with this type of representation, and
retrograde is realized by moving around the cycle in reverse order. Relationships of
complementation, augmentation and diminution are more difficult to determine from this
diagram, however. This particular representational approach could be very helpful in
visualizing some of the cellular transformations of rhythm in the music of Bart6k, but, as
stated earlier, my preference is for the extraction of timepoint attack rhythm and a system
that allows for the recognition of structures grouped by consecutive timepoint attacks and
non-attacks.
Possible Systems of Representation for Timepoint Accent Rhythms
There are at least three possibilities for delineating timepoint accent rhythms in a
manner that will allow for ease in recognition of related structures. Before presenting43
