Diminuitions, or divisions, is a kind of ornamenting a melodic line by splitting or dividing it into rows of shorter notes (rhythmical diminuition). Those rows or lines of shorter notes usually go around the actual centre note but may sometimes go in distant directions as well (melodic diminuition). -- Best wishes, Mathias Mathias Roesel, Grosze Annenstrasze 5, 28199 Bremen, Deutschland/ Germany, T/F +49 - 421 - 165 49 97, Fax +49 1805 060 334 480 67, E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
