As we have metioned efore inother posts, the 3 main tools to set simplicity in the perception of the melodies are
A) PITCH STATICS : THE THREECHORDS AND TETRACHORDS (3 OR 4 NOTES Micro-subscales) in which the elementary melodic themes occur.In fast soloing ,they serve a s random-cloud palying aroun a note ofthem.
B) RHYTM: The realization of an elementary melodic theme with a rhythmic patter, and the full melody by a progression of rhythmic patterns
B) PITCH DYNAMICS : THE 3 POLARITIES , UP-MOVES, DOWN MOVES , STATIONARY OSCILALTIONS
In other posts we have called the realizations of the 3 dynamics in the threechords and tetrachords, as far as abstract order-structure is concerned, as "Dolphin -Words".
Synethesia (translating sounds to colors and shapes) plays also an important role in simplifying the perception of melodies
