Oct 11, 2018 at 14:22 comment added user36492 Right? Because the attack time of the notes would be entirely different than which a full retrograde would have us notate. So retrograde isn't pure reverse right?
Oct 11, 2018 at 14:20 comment added Laurence Reverse audio would sound QUITE different!
Oct 11, 2018 at 14:14 comment added user36492 I'm just trying to understand whether a full reversal (from modern day audio recording standards) of an audio is different from traditional concepts of retrograde because an exact retrograde wouldn't actually sound like the reverse of a motif or a subject if you come to think of it and hence I was confused whether a retrograde simply means that which is reversed on paper or that which is supposed to sound like an actual reverse audio of the melody.
