64.82This is an important conceptual convergence
We are no longer learning isolated tricks.
We are seeing one pitch environment through different lenses:
Scale lens
seven-note collection.
Pentatonic lens
five-note concentrated color.
Triad-pair lens
two three-note shapes.
Quartal lens
stacked-fourth fragments.
Upper-structure lens
familiar shape over bass/shell.
You choose the lens that makes the musical task easiest.
