At night, like now, I also enjoy looking at the stars.” Helen pointed straight up. “Directly overhead we see the Teapot and Scorpius.” Bob’s smile was evident in his tone of voice as he spoke. “Helen, I also...

Chapter 8: Performance

Chapter 8 Helen worked her way through the music theory final exam. "Why are prime forms useful?" "I know this one. All the chords that belong to the same Prime form sound similar." "Who cataloged every possible prime form, for sets with 3-9 members and ordered them according to their interval content?" "I don't know. Wait! I do know. I don't know how I know. Allen Forte did it.
