Multiplication (music)

Multiplication is a mathematical practice that can be applied to music. The operation multiplies the numeric value of musical parameters like notes or rhythms to create new ones. Like transposition, inversion, and retrogression, multiplication generates new material from melodic sources. The practice is particularly important in the field of twelve-tone technique and set theory.
