48.39Level 17 — retrograde rhythm
Keep pitch order.
Reverse the sequence of durations/rests.
For instance:
original rhythm: short-short-long-rest.
Retrograde: rest-long-short-short.
The motif remains related but its internal momentum changes.
This is rhythmic transformation analogous to melodic retrograde.
