๐ Music Theory with DV Language
By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (MKR: Messiah King RKY)with the assistance of AI๐ Preface
This book is written for everyone who wants to study music — from curious beginners to advanced musicians, from high school learners to university students, from hobbyists to professionals.
Music is often called a universal language, but traditional notation can be difficult and discouraging for those who did not grow up reading staff lines and clefs. Many people love music, play instruments, or sing, yet feel excluded from deeper study because the notation system seems too complicated.
DV Language (David Violin Language) changes that. It is a simple, textual, intuitive way to write and read music. Using numbers for pitch (degrees), letters for durations, and a few clear symbols for rhythm and octave, DV makes music as easy to read as a sentence.
This book brings together:
Fundamentals – so that even complete beginners can learn step by step.
Theory and Analysis – so advanced students and academics can explore harmony, counterpoint, and form in DV.
Practical Tools – so hobbyists, songwriters, DJs, and improvisers can write their ideas quickly.
Modern Applications – so AI, robotics, and computer music systems can use DV as a universal notation.
By the end of this book, you will be able to:
Read and write melodies, rhythms, and harmonies in DV.
Understand how scales, chords, and progressions work.
Analyze music from classical, jazz, pop, and world traditions.
Compose and improvise using DV notation.
Connect music theory to technology, AI, and modern creativity.
Music is a gift for everyone. With DV Language, learning music becomes open, simple, and universal.
Chapter 1 — Introduction to Music & DV Language
1.1 What is Music Theory?
1.2 Why DV Language?
DV (David Violin) Language is:
-
SYSTEMATIC — numeric degrees, explicit octaves, exact durations.
-
UNIVERSAL — typable on any keyboard and adaptable to any spoken language.
-
PRECISE — unambiguous tokens that machines can parse and humans can read.DV complements staff notation by offering a parallel, compact, and computationally clear script.
1.3 DV Notation: Core Elements
A note token has three parts:
FORMAT: DEGREE.OCTAVE DURATION
-
DEGREE = 1–7 (relative to the current KEY).
-
OCTAVE = integer (…, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …).
-
Example:
Mi1Q
means Mi in OCTAVE 1, Quarter (letter style). -
Mi0
orMi-1
indicates lower octaves as needed.
-
-
DURATION = note length.
1.3.1 Durations (two options)
-
LETTER DURATIONS:
W, H, Q, E, S
= Whole, Half, Quarter, Eighth, Sixteenth.-
Q = 1/4 (explicitly).
-
-
FRACTION DURATIONS:
1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16
(no letters).
Both styles are valid and may be shown side by side.
1.3.2 Relative vs Absolute Pitch Notation
-
RELATIVE (preferred in teaching):
DEGREE.OCTAVE DURATION
-
4.1 1/4
= DEGREE 4, OCTAVE 1, DURATION 1/4. -
6.1 1/4
= DEGREE 6, OCTAVE 1, DURATION 1/4. -
1.2 1/4
= DEGREE 1, OCTAVE 2, DURATION 1/4. -
(If KEY = C major, these correspond to Fa, La, Do respectively; the KEY must be stated to use solfรจge/letter names.)
-
-
ABSOLUTE (continuous degrees): keep counting degrees across octaves
-
Octave 1 → 1–7; Octave 2 → 8–14; Octave 3 → 15–21; …
-
Thus
1.2
≡ absolute 8;3.2
≡ absolute 10, etc.
-
- Example of chord that is written for a quarter-note duration:
4(1/4)+6(1/4)+8(1/4)
or (4+6+8)Q or (Fa1+La1+Do2)Q or FmajQ.
1.3.3 Bars and Grouping
Bars use vertical lines: | … |
. Semicolons or spaces can separate tokens; keep a consistent style.
1.4 Silence and Mute
-
REST:
R DURATION
or0 DURATION
-
Examples:
RQ
,R1/4
,0Q
,0 1/4
.
-
-
MUTE:
M
before a note indicates a written rhythmic slot that is silent.-
Example:
1.1 1/4 M1.1 1/4 3.1 1/4
(quarter on DEGREE 1, muted quarter on the same position, quarter on DEGREE 3).
-
Recommendation: Use
0
for REST consistently in simple grooves; retainR
as the formal alternative in text.
1.5 Examples
1.5.1 Scale (KEY must be declared if mapping to letters is desired)
| 1.1 1/4 2.1 1/4 3.1 1/4 4.1 1/4 5.1 1/4 6.1 1/4 7.1 1/4 1.2 1/4 |
| 1 1/4 2 1/4 3 1/4 4 1/4 5 1/4 6 1/4 7 1/4 8 1/4 |
1.5.2 Melody (Twinkle Twinkle — KEY stated for readers; tokens remain degree-based)
Relative:
| 1.1 1/4 1.1 1/4 5.1 1/4 5.1 1/4 | 6.1 1/4 6.1 1/4 5.1 1/2 |
| 4.1 1/4 4.1 1/4 3.1 1/4 3.1 1/4 | 2.1 1/4 2.1 1/4 1.1 1/2 |
Absolute:
| 1 1/4 1 1/4 5 1/4 5 1/4 | 6 1/4 6 1/4 5 1/2 |
| 4 1/4 4 1/4 3 1/4 3 1/4 | 2 1/4 2 1/4 1 1/2 |
1.5.3 Chords (abstract degrees; KEY required to realize pitches)
Relative:
-
Triad 1:
4.1 1/4 + 6.1 1/4 + 1.2 1/4
-
Triad 2:
2.1 1/4 + 4.1 1/4 + 6.1 1/4
(If KEY = C major, these correspond to F major and D minor respectively.)
Absolute (same voicings):
-
4 1/4 + 6 1/4 + 8 1/4
-
2 1/4 + 4 1/4 + 6 1/4
1.5.4 Rhythm with Rest and Mute
-
Relative:
| 1.1 1/4 0 1/4 2.1 1/8 2.1 1/8 3.1 1/2 |
-
Mute inside bar:
| 1.1 1/4 M1.1 1/4 3.1 1/4 0 1/4 |
1.6 Comparison with Staff Notation
-
Staff is symbolic; DV is textual-numeric.
-
Both are rigorous; DV emphasizes direct readability, exactness in OCTAVE/DURATION, and straightforward parsing.
1.7 Exercises
-
C Major Scale (Octave 1):
-
Relative:
1.1 1/4 … 1.2 1/4
-
Absolute:
1 1/4 … 8 1/4
-
-
Rhythm (4/4): write two quarters, four eighths, one half using both duration styles.
-
Chords (Relative): write
4.1 1/4 + 6.1 1/4 + 1.2 1/4
and2.1 1/4 + 4.1 1/4 + 6.1 1/4
; then convert to Absolute. -
REST vs MUTE: compose a 1-bar pattern that uses
0 1/4
andM
distinctly.
1.8 Chapter Summary
-
A DV note token is DEGREE.OCTAVE DURATION (degree first, octave second).
-
Durations may be written as letters (W H Q E S; Q=1/4) or fractions (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16).
-
REST can be
0
orR
; MUTE usesM
. -
Relative and Absolute degree systems are both supported; declare the KEY when mapping to letter names.

Chapter 1 – Technical Foundations of DV Language
DV Language provides a structured system to represent pitch, duration, harmony, and rhythm in a precise textual format. This chapter expands on the technical aspects of notation.
Notes and Degrees
-
Scale Degrees: Notes are written as numbers (1–7) representing scale positions.
-
Octaves: An appended numeral defines the octave, e.g., 1o2 = tonic in octave 2.
-
Absolute Notes – Two Options:
-
Lowercase Style (default DV): do1, re1, mi1, fa1, sol1, la1, ti1.
-
Capitalized Style (alternative DV): Do1, Re1, Mi1, Fa1, Sol1, La1, Ti1.
Both are valid; lowercase is simpler for fast writing and AI parsing, while capitalized is preferred for educational or formal contexts.
-
-
Absolute by Degree or Octave:
-
Degree-based: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (relative to scale).
-
Absolute with octave: 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 … 1.2 (degree with explicit octave using dot notation).
-
Example: 1.1Q = tonic in first octave, quarter duration; 5.3H = dominant in third octave, half duration.
-
-
Duration Markers:
-
Q = quarter note (1/4)
-
H = half note (1/2)
-
W = whole note (1/1)
-
E = eighth (1/8)
-
S = sixteenth (1/16)
-
-
Examples:
-
3Q = mediant, quarter duration.
-
fa2H / Fa2H / 4.2H = F in octave 2, half duration.
-
Chords and Harmony
-
Triads: Written as grouped degrees, e.g., (1+3+5)Q.
-
Extended Chords: Add further degrees: (1+3+5+7)Q = 7th chord.
-
Quality Markers:
-
maj = major, min = minor, dim = diminished, aug = augmented.
-
Cmaj7H, AmQ, BdimE.
-
-
Inversions: Use / notation: C/EQ = C major chord with E in bass.
-
Arpeggios: Represented by separating chord tones sequentially, e.g., 1E 3E 5E 8E.
Drum and Percussion Notation
-
Basic Symbols:
-
K = Kick
-
S = Snare
-
Hc = Hi-hat closed, Ho = Hi-hat open
-
T1, T2, T3 = Toms
-
Cr = Crash cymbal, Rd = Ride cymbal
-
-
Durations apply equally: KQ, SQ, HcE.
-
Polyrhythm: Combine multiple instruments in parallel with +.
-
Example: KQ + HcE + SQ = kick on beat, hi-hat eighths, snare accent.
-
Complex Rhythm Structures
-
Tuplets: Indicated by brackets.
-
Numeric example: 1[3:2]E 2[3:2]E 3[3:2]E = triplet subdivision.
-
DV note example (aligned with count): Do1[1/3]Q Re1[2/3]Q Mi1[3/3]Q = C, D, E as three equal triplet notes within one quarter beat, moving with the triplet count.
-
Degree-octave dot example: 1.1[1/3]Q 2.1[2/3]Q 3.1[3/3]Q = degrees 1, 2, 3 in octave 1 as triplets.
-
-
Syncopation: Shown with ties (-) across beats: 1Q-2E or Do1Q-Re1E.
Integration Example
Melody + Drum layer:
-
Melody (capitalized): Do1Q Re1Q Mi1Q Fa1Q
-
Melody (lowercase): do1Q re1Q mi1Q fa1Q
-
Harmony: (1+3+5)H on beats 1–2, (4+6+1)H on beats 3–4
-
Drums: KQ ; HcE+SQ ; KQ ; HcE+SQ
-
Triplet example: Do1[1/3]Q Re1[2/3]Q Mi1[3/3]Q or degree-octave form 1.1[1/3]Q 2.1[2/3]Q 3.1[3/3]Q with drum support K[1/3]Q + Hc[1/3]Q
Summary of Chapter 1
This chapter defined the technical syntax of DV Language, covering:
-
Absolute and relative pitch with lowercase and capitalized options.
-
Degree with octave dot notation (1.1, 2.1, etc.).
-
Chord construction and qualities.
-
Drum/percussion system with layering.
-
Tuplets, syncopation, and rhythmic structures (with DV note triplets that move with the count).
With these tools, DV can describe full orchestral, band, or digital arrangements precisely in text.

Chapter 1 – The Musical Box
In DV Language, every bar of music is represented as a musical box. The box is the essential unit of structure: it defines time, rhythm, and organization. Instead of writing on staff lines, musicians write inside boxes that always correspond to the measure length.
Principles of the Musical Box
-
Each | ... | = one bar (box).
|: = repeat start
:| = repeat end
-
A double vertical line || marks the end of a phrase or section.
-
Inside the box, durations must add up to the total measure (e.g., four quarter notes in 4/4).
-
Boxes can hold melody, chords, rhythm, or all of them combined.
-
Boxes are placed sequentially to build full compositions: Box 1, Box 2, Box 3 …
Examples of Musical Boxes
- Simple Melody Box (4/4):| Do1Q ; Re1Q ; Mi1Q ; Fa1Q ||➡ Four quarter notes forming a bar.
- Two Sequential Boxes (Scale):| Do1Q ; Re1Q ; Mi1Q ; Fa1Q | Sol1Q ; La1Q ; Si1Q ; Do2Q ||➡ A C major scale spread over two boxes.
- Chord Box:| (1+3+5)Q ; (4+6+1)Q ; (5+7+2)Q ; (6+1+3)Q ||➡ A harmonic progression in one box.
- Chord Box:`| CQ ; FQ ; GmajQ ; AmQ ||➡ Degrees progression: I – IV – V – vi➡ Real chords (in C major) inside the box
- Drum Box (Groove):| KQ + HcE ; HcE ; HcE + SQ ; KQ + HcE ; HcE ; HcE + SQ ||➡ Kick, hi-hat, and snare inside a rhythmic box.
- Triplet Box (Moving with Count):| Do1[1/3]Q Re1[2/3]Q Mi1[3/3]Q ||➡ Three equal triplet notes filling one beat inside a box.
- Mixed Box (Melody + Drums):| Do1Q + KQ ; Re1Q + HcE ; Mi1Q + SQ ; Fa1Q + KQ ||➡ Melody and rhythm written together in one box.
Summary
The musical box is the DV system’s time container. It replaces the traditional measure, making music easy to write, read, and structure. Shox (short examples) show how boxes can represent melody, harmony, rhythm, and mixed layers, always ending with || to close the section.

๐ Chapter 2 – Sound, Pitch & Frequency in DV
2.1 What is Sound?
Sound is a physical vibration of air (or another medium) measured in frequency (Hz), amplitude (volume), and timbre (tone color).
-
Frequency (Hz): number of vibrations per second → determines pitch.
-
Amplitude: strength of vibration → determines loudness.
-
Waveform / Spectrum: harmonic content → determines tone color (piano vs violin on same note).
In DV, pitch is described numerically (Degree.Octave), which can be mapped directly to frequency values.
2.2 Pitch and Frequency
The frequency of any note can be calculated:
where n is the MIDI note number (A4 = 49).
DV notes map to this system by Degree + Octave.
2.3 Mapping DV to Frequencies
2.3.1 Relative DV (Degree.Octave)
Each DV token (Degree.Octave) corresponds to an exact frequency when the KEY and tuning are defined.
Example (KEY = C major, Octave 1):
-
1.1
(Do1) = ~261.63 Hz (C4 in staff notation). -
3.1
(Mi1) = ~329.63 Hz (E4). -
5.1
(Sol1) = ~392.00 Hz (G4).
2.3.2 Absolute DV
Absolute numbering removes KEY dependency by counting continuously.
-
Absolute 1 = C in Octave 1 (~261.63 Hz).
-
Absolute 8 = C in Octave 2 (~523.25 Hz).
-
Absolute 10 = E in Octave 2 (~659.25 Hz).
This form is highly useful in computer systems, AI, and robotics.
2.4 Equal Temperament and Alternatives
DV defaults to equal temperament, where each octave doubles in frequency (2:1 ratio) and is divided into 12 equal steps.
-
Advantages: universal tuning, simple mapping, consistent across instruments.
-
Limitations: slight compromises in pure intervals (e.g., major third not exact 5:4).
Alternative tuning systems (just intonation, meantone, Pythagorean) can also be described in DV, but equal temperament remains the reference standard.
2.5 Octaves and Frequency Doubling
Each octave represents a doubling of frequency.
-
Example: Do1 = 261.63 Hz, Do2 = 523.25 Hz, Do3 = 1046.50 Hz.
-
In DV:
1.1
,1.2
,1.3
→ each is 2× the previous. Quarter of 261.63 Hz (Do1) at DV language: 261.63HzQ
This makes DV notation mathematically aligned with acoustic reality.
2.6 Practical Example in DV
Relative system (C major):
Scale in Octave 1 → | 1.1Q 2.1Q 3.1Q 4.1Q 5.1Q 6.1Q 7.1Q 1.2Q |
Absolute system:
Scale → | 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 5Q 6Q 7Q 8Q |
Directly corresponds to same Hz values.
2.7 Exercises
-
Write the DV tokens for the C major scale in Octave 2. Write the corresponding frequencies.
-
Convert the chord
4.1 1/4 + 6.1 1/4 + 1.2 1/4
into absolute notation and list each frequency. -
Explain why
1.3
is exactly double the frequency of1.2
. -
Calculate the frequency of
5.2
(Sol2) using the 12-TET formula.
2.8 Chapter Summary
-
Sound is vibration, measured in frequency (Hz).
-
DV notation (Degree.Octave) maps directly to frequency values when KEY and tuning are specified.
-
Relative notation is educational and KEY-based.
-
Absolute notation is linear and computationally efficient.
-
Each OCTAVE doubles frequency, aligning DV with acoustic laws.
DV thus connects the abstract structure of music directly to physical sound.

๐ Chapter 3 – Rhythm & Meter in DV
๐ Chapter 3 – Rhythm & Meter in DV
3.1 What is Rhythm?
Rhythm is the organization of sounds and silences in time. It defines pulse, beat, meter, and duration. In DV, rhythm is written with durations (letters or fractions) and grouping symbols (bars).
3.2 Durations in DV
Two equivalent systems exist:
Letter System
-
W = Whole
-
H = Half
-
Q = Quarter
-
E = Eighth
-
S = Sixteenth
Fraction System
-
1/1 = Whole
-
1/2 = Half
-
1/4 = Quarter
-
1/8 = Eighth
-
1/16 = Sixteenth
๐ Both systems may be used in parallel.
-
Example:
1.1Q
≡1.1 1/4
3.3 Bars and Time Signatures
Music is divided into measures (bars). DV uses | … |
to mark a bar.
-
4/4 time: 4 quarter notes per bar.
-
3/4 time: 3 quarter notes per bar.
-
6/8 time: 6 eighth notes per bar.
Example (4/4):
| 1.1Q 2.1Q 3.1Q 4.1Q |
= four quarter notes (Do, Re, Mi, Fa).
3.4 Rests and Silences
-
REST:
R
or0
+ duration. -
Example:
RQ
,R1/4
,0Q
,0 1/4
. -
Example bar:
| 1.1Q RQ 3.1Q 4.1Q |
= Do, rest, Mi, Fa.
3.5 Mute vs Rest
-
REST = complete silence (no note, no attack).
-
MUTE (M) = note slot is written but silent (e.g., ghost note, muted string).
Example:
| 1.1Q M1.1Q 3.1Q 0Q |
= Do quarter, muted Do quarter, Mi quarter, rest quarter.
3.6 Rhythmic Grouping (Beams)
( … )
or explicit sequencing.Example:
| (1.1E 2.1E) (3.1E 4.1E) |
= four eighth notes grouped in pairs.
3.7 Compound and Irregular Meters
-
6/8 time:
| 1.1E 2.1E 3.1E 4.1E 5.1E 6.1E |
-
5/4 time:
| 1.1Q 2.1Q 3.1Q 4.1Q 5.1Q |
DV adapts to any meter because durations are explicit.
3.8 Polyrhythm in DV
Example (3 against 2):
-
Line A (triplets):
| 1.1 1/3 2.1 1/3 3.1 1/3 |
-
Line B (duplets):
| 1.1 1/2 3.1 1/2 |
Both can be synchronized in text.
3.9 Practical Examples
3.9.1 Basic Rhythm (4/4)
| 1.1Q 2.1Q 3.1Q 4.1Q |
3.9.2 Rhythm with Rest
| 1.1Q 0Q 3.1Q 4.1Q |
3.9.3 Syncopation
| 1.1E 0E 2.1Q 3.1E 4.1Q |
3.9.4 Mute in Groove
| 1.1Q M1.1Q 2.1Q 0Q |
3.10 Exercises
-
Write a 4/4 bar with: two quarters, four eighths, one half note.
-
Notate a 3/4 rhythm with one dotted half note.
-
Show a bar that alternates note–rest–note–rest.
-
Write a polyrhythm (3:2) using DV.
3.11 Chapter Summary
-
DV uses durations (letters or fractions) and bars
| … |
. -
Rests =
R
or0
; Mute =M
. -
Works with all meters: simple, compound, irregular.
-
Polyrhythms can be written by combining independent lines.
DV provides a complete rhythmic notation system, consistent with its pitch notation.
๐ Chapter 4 – Scales & Keys in DV
4.1 What is a Scale?
In DV, scales are expressed in two parallel systems:
-
Relative DV (Degree.Octave Duration)
-
Example:
3B.1Q
= Degree 3, Major, Octave 1, Quarter note.
-
-
Absolute DV (Continuous Degrees)
-
Example:
8Q
= Degree 8 (the Do of Octave 2), Quarter note.
-
Each DV token corresponds to a note name (Do, Re, Mi… / C, D, E…) once the KEY is defined.
4.2 DV Quality and Alteration Markers
-
F = Full (Perfect) → unison, 4th, 5th, octave.
-
B = Big (Major)
-
S = Small (Minor)
-
# = Sharp (raise semitone)
-
b = Flat (lower semitone)
Degree[Quality][Accidental].Octave Duration
Examples:
-
3B.1Q
= Mi1 (E4), Major 3rd. -
3S.1Q
= Mi♭1 (E♭4), Minor 3rd. -
5F.1H
= Sol1 (G4), Perfect 5th. -
7Bb.1Q
= Si♭1 (B♭4).
4.3 Major Scale Example – C Major (Do Major)
Pattern: W – W – H – W – W – W – H
DV (Relative, Octave 1 → 2):
1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 4F.1Q 5F.1Q 6B.1Q 7B.1Q 1F.2Q
Notes (solfรจge):
Do1 Re1 Mi1 Fa1 Sol1 La1 Si1 Do2
Notes (letters):
C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 B4 C5
Absolute DV:
1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 5Q 6Q 7Q 8Q
4.4 Minor Scale Example – A Minor (La Minor)

4.10 Chapter Summary
-
DV expresses scales in Relative (Degree.Octave) and Absolute (continuous degree) formats.
-
Quality markers (F, B, S, #, b) encode interval types and accidentals.
-
Each DV token maps to solfรจge names (Do, Re, Mi) and letter names (C, D, E).
-
Major, minor (natural, harmonic, melodic), modes, chromatic, and the circle of fifths are fully supported.
DV thus provides a universal, text-based notation for all tonal systems.
๐ Chapter 5 – Intervals & Chords in DV
5.1 What is an Interval?
-
Number (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.)
-
Quality (Perfect, Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished)
-
Size in semitones
In DV, intervals are written with two tokens (or stacked with a plus sign +
).
5.2 Interval Qualities in DV
-
F = Full (Perfect): unison, 4th, 5th, octave.
-
B = Big (Major): 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th in major form.
-
S = Small (Minor): 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th in minor form.
-
# = Sharp (Augmented): raise degree by semitone.
-
b = Flat (Diminished): lower degree by semitone.
Examples:
-
1F.1Q → 1F.2Q
= Perfect Octave (C to C). -
1F.1Q → 3B.1Q
= Major 3rd (C to E). -
1F.1Q → 3S.1Q
= Minor 3rd (C to E♭). -
5F.1Q → 7Bb.1Q
= Diminished 7th (G to B♭).
5.3 Simple Intervals in DV (KEY = C Major)
Relative DV:
1F.1 → 2B.1 = Major 2nd = Do–Re = C–D
1F.1 → 3B.1 = Major 3rd = Do–Mi = C–E1F.1 → 3S.1 = Minor 3rd = Do–Mi♭ = C–E♭1F.1 → 4F.1 = Perfect 4th = Do–Fa = C–F1F.1 → 5F.1 = Perfect 5th = Do–Sol = C–G1F.1 → 6B.1 = Major 6th = Do–La = C–A1F.1 → 6S.1 = Minor 6th = Do–La♭ = C–A♭1F.1 → 7B.1 = Major 7th = Do–Si = C–B1F.1 → 7S.1 = Minor 7th = Do–Si♭ = C–B♭
Absolute DV example:
1 → 4 = Major 3rd
1 → 3 = Minor 3rd
5.4 Compound Intervals in DV
Compound intervals extend beyond an octave.
Example (C to high E):
-
Relative:
1F.1 → 3B.2
= Major 10th (C4–E5). -
Absolute:
1 → 10
.
5.5 What is a Chord?
+
signs.Example (C Major Triad):
1F.1Q + 3B.1Q + 5F.1Q
= Do + Mi + Sol = C–E–G
5.6 Triads in DV
Major Triad (1, 3B, 5F):

All triads and seventh chords can be represented in DV without ambiguity.
DV provides a complete chord and interval notation, suitable for both human musicians and computational systems.
๐ Chapter 6 – Harmony & Progressions in DV
6.1 What is Harmony?
In DV, harmony is built by stacking degrees (triads, sevenths, extended chords) and by linking them into progressions.
6.2 Functional Harmony
Western tonal music organizes harmony into three main functions:
-
Tonic (T): Home, stable. Example in C major: C (Do) chord =
1F.1 + 3B.1 + 5F.1
. -
Subdominant (S): Moves away, prepares tension. Example: F (Fa) chord =
4F.1 + 6B.1 + 1F.2
. -
Dominant (D): Creates tension, leads back. Example: G7 (Sol7) chord =
5F.1 + 7B.1 + 2B.2 + 4F.2
.
DV labels:
-
Tonic = I =
1 chord
-
Subdominant = IV =
4 chord
-
Dominant = V (often with 7) =
5 chord
6.3 Cadences in DV
A cadence is a harmonic ending.
-
Perfect Cadence (V–I):5F.1+7B.1+2B.2+4F.2 → 1F.1+3B.1+5F.1= G7 → C major
-
Plagal Cadence (IV–I):4F.1+6B.1+1F.2 → 1F.1+3B.1+5F.1= F → C
-
Deceptive Cadence (V–vi):5 chord → 6 chord= G → A minor
-
Half Cadence (ends on V):Progression stops on dominant.
6.4 Common Chord Progressions
6.4.1 Classical Progression (I–IV–V–I)
DV:
| 1F.1+3B.1+5F.1 | 4F.1+6B.1+1F.2 | 5F.1+7B.1+2B.2 | 1F.1+3B.1+5F.1 |
6.4.2 Pop Progression (I–V–vi–IV)
DV:
| 1 chord | 5 chord | 6 chord | 4 chord |
6.4.3 Jazz ii–V–I
DV:
| 2S.1+4F.1+6S.1 | 5F.1+7B.1+2B.2+4F.2 | 1F.1+3B.1+5F.1+7B.1 |
6.5 Secondary Dominants
A secondary dominant is a V chord that temporarily tonicizes another degree.
Example: V/V in C major (the dominant of G is D7).
-
DV:
2B.1 + 4F#.1 + 6B.1 + 1F.2
-
Notes: D–F#–A–C
Progression:
| 2 chord (D7) → 5 chord (G) → 1 chord (C) |
6.6 Extended Progressions
-
Circle of Fifths Progression:Moves by descending fifths (or ascending fourths).Example in C: C → F → Bdim → Em → Am → Dm → G → C
-
Modal Progressions:In Dorian (Re mode), typical vamp:
| 1 chord (Dm7) → 4 chord (G7) |
6.7 Exercises
-
Write a perfect cadence in DV in the key of C major.
-
Notate the I–V–vi–IV pop progression in DV for the key of G major.
-
Construct a ii–V–I progression in F major.
-
Show the deceptive cadence V–vi in A minor.

6.8 Chapter Summary
-
Harmony in DV is represented by stacked degrees with +.
-
Functional harmony uses tonic, subdominant, and dominant chords.
-
Cadences (V–I, IV–I, V–vi, etc.) can be fully described in DV.
-
Common progressions (I–IV–V–I, I–V–vi–IV, ii–V–I) are universally writable.
-
DV adapts to classical, pop, and jazz harmony.
๐ Chapter 7 – Counterpoint & Polyphony in DV
7.1 What is Counterpoint?
Counterpoint is the art of combining independent melodic lines so that they sound harmonious together.
It is based on voice-leading rules:
-
Smooth motion between notes.
-
Avoiding forbidden parallels (e.g., parallel 5ths and 8ves).
-
Balancing consonance and dissonance.
DV allows counterpoint to be written in parallel text lines, where each line represents a voice.
7.2 What is Polyphony?
Polyphony is music with multiple independent voices sounding simultaneously.
-
Monophony: one melody (plain chant).
-
Homophony: melody + chords (hymns, pop songs).
-
Polyphony: multiple equal voices (Bach fugues, canons).
DV represents polyphony by stacking or aligning degrees in time.
7.3 First Species (Note against Note)
Example: Cantus Firmus in C Major
Voice 1 (Cantus): | 1F.1H 2B.1H 3B.1H 4F.1H 5F.1H 4F.1H 3B.1H 2B.1H 1F.1W |
Voice 2 (Counter):| 5F.1H 4F.1H 3B.1H 2B.1H 1F.1H 2B.1H 3B.1H 4F.1H 1F.1W |
Notes:
-
Cantus = C–D–E–F–G–F–E–D–C
-
Counterpoint = G–F–E–D–C–D–E–F–C
This is strict consonant counterpoint.
7.4 Second Species (Two Notes against One)
DV Example:
Cantus: | 1F.1H 2B.1H 3B.1H 4F.1H 5F.1W |
Counter: | 5F.1Q 6B.1Q 4F.1Q 3B.1Q 2B.1Q 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 1F.1W |
Notes:
-
Cantus = C–D–E–F–G
-
Counter = G–A, F–E, D–C, D–E, C
7.5 Third Species (Four Notes against One)
DV Example:
Cantus: | 1F.1W 5F.1W |
Counter: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 4F.1Q 5F.1Q 6B.1Q 7B.1Q 1F.2Q |
Notes:
-
Cantus = C–G
-
Counter = C–D–E–F, G–A–B–C
7.6 Fourth Species (Syncopation)
In DV, suspensions (tied dissonances resolving down) can be written with tied durations:
Cantus: | 1F.1H 2B.1H 3B.1H 4F.1H |
Counter: | 2B.1W 3B.1W 4F.1W 5F.1W |
Counter holds long notes that create suspensions against the cantus.
7.7 Fifth Species (Florid Counterpoint)
Combines all species: whole, half, quarter, syncopation.
DV example (fragment):
Cantus: | 1F.1W 2B.1W |
Counter: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 4F.1Q 3B.1H 2B.1H |
7.8 Canons and Fugues in DV
-
Canon: one voice imitates another after a delay.
-
DV can show staggered entries:
Voice 1: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 4F.1Q ... | Voice 2: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 4F.1Q ... |
-
-
Fugue: subject + answer + development.
-
DV can outline entries by labeling voices as V1, V2, V3 with timing offsets.
-
7.9 Exercises
-
Write a simple 1st species counterpoint above Do1–Re1–Mi1–Fa1–Sol1.
-
Create a 2nd species line against the cantus Do1–Mi1–Sol1.
-
Write four 8th notes against each whole note of Do–Sol in DV.
-
Show a suspension (4–3) in DV over a C chord.
-
Write a short canon (two bars) where Voice 2 imitates Voice 1 at the 5th.
7.10 Chapter Summary
-
Counterpoint = rules for combining independent voices.
-
Polyphony = multiple independent melodies.
-
DV represents species counterpoint with parallel lines of notation.
-
Canons and fugues can be structured in DV using staggered entries.
DV makes contrapuntal writing possible in plain text, useful for both human study and machine analysis.
๐ Chapter 8 – Form & Structure in DV
8.1 What is Musical Form?
When we listen to music, we do not only hear notes — we hear shapes and patterns.
A child’s song might have one idea repeated, while a symphony has contrasting themes and dramatic returns.
This larger design is called form.
Think of form as the architecture of music.
Notes are like bricks, melodies are like walls, but form is the entire building.
In DV, we can describe form using:
-
Section labels (A, B, C).
-
DV notation for the themes.
-
Solfรจge (Do, Re, Mi) or letters (C, D, E) for clarity.
This makes it possible to analyze simple songs and complex symphonies using the same system.
8.2 Binary Form (AB or AABB)
Binary form is one of the simplest structures: two sections.
-
A: The first idea.
-
B: A contrasting idea.
Sometimes each section repeats, giving AABB.
DV Example (C Major):
A: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 1F.2H |
B: | 5F.1Q 6B.1Q 7B.1Q 5F.2H |
Notes (solfรจge):
-
A = Do1 – Re1 – Mi1 – Do2
-
B = Sol1 – La1 – Si1 – Sol2
Notes (letters):
-
A = C – D – E – C
-
B = G – A – B – G
๐ Imagine a folk dance: the dancers perform one step (A), then a new step (B).
This is binary form — simple contrast.
8.3 Ternary Form (ABA)
Ternary form is built from three sections.
-
A: Main idea.
-
B: Contrast.
-
A: Return to the first idea.
This gives a feeling of departure and return, like going on a trip and coming home.
DV Example:
A: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 5F.1H |
B: | 6S.1Q 7S.1Q 1F.2Q 2B.2H |
A: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 5F.1H |
Notes (solfรจge):
-
A = Do1 – Re1 – Mi1 – Sol1
-
B = La1 – Si1 – Do2 – Re2
-
A = Do1 – Re1 – Mi1 – Sol1
Letters:
-
A = C – D – E – G
-
B = A – B – C – D
-
A = C – D – E – G
๐ Think of a simple children’s song: a verse (A), then a chorus (B), then the verse again (A).
That is ternary form.
8.4 Sonata Form (Large-Scale Classical Form)
Sonata form is a big design, used in symphonies, concertos, sonatas.
It has three main parts:
-
Exposition (themes are presented).
-
Theme 1 (T1) in the tonic key.
-
Theme 2 (T2) in the dominant key (or relative major/minor).
-
-
Development (themes are transformed).
-
Modulations (changes of key).
-
Sequences, variations, tension.
-
-
Recapitulation (return).
-
Both themes return in the tonic key.
-
DV Example in C Major:
-
Exposition:
-
T1 (C major):
| 1F.1Q 3B.1Q 5F.1Q 1F.2H |
→ Do–Mi–Sol–Do = C–E–G–C -
T2 (G major):
| 5F.1Q 7B.1Q 2B.2Q 5F.2H |
→ Sol–Si–Re–Sol = G–B–D–G
-
-
Development:
| 6S.1Q 4F.1Q 2B.1Q 5F.1Q |
→ La–Fa–Re–Sol = A–F–D–G -
Recapitulation (all in C):
-
T1 again in C.
-
T2 transposed to C.
-
๐ This design creates drama: first stability (T1), then contrast (T2), then storm (development), then resolution (recap).
8.5 Rondo Form (ABACA)
Rondo form alternates a main theme (A) with contrasting episodes (B, C…).
The main theme keeps coming back, like a refrain in a song.
DV Example (C Major):
A: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 1F.2H |
B: | 4F.1Q 5F.1Q 6B.1Q 4F.2H |
A: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 1F.2H |
C: | 6S.1Q 7S.1Q 1F.2Q 6S.2H |
A: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 1F.2H |
Notes (solfรจge):
-
A = Do–Re–Mi–Do
-
B = Fa–Sol–La–Fa
-
A = Do–Re–Mi–Do
-
C = La–Si–Do–La
-
A = Do–Re–Mi–Do
Letters:
-
A = C–D–E–C
-
B = F–G–A–F
-
C = A–B–C–A
๐ This is like a popular song with a chorus (A) that always returns after new verses (B, C).
8.6 Theme and Variations
In this form, one theme is repeated many times, each time with a twist.
The changes can be rhythmic, harmonic, or ornamental.
Theme (DV):
| 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 5F.1H |
= Do–Re–Mi–Sol = C–D–E–G
Variation 1 (Rhythm change):
| 1F.1E 2B.1E 3B.1E 5F.1H |
= Do–Re–Mi (in faster notes), Sol as half note
Variation 2 (Harmony):
| (1F.1+3B.1)Q (2B.1+4F.1)Q (3B.1+5F.1)Q (5F.1+7B.1)H |
= Chords: C+E, D+F, E+G, G+B
๐ This is like telling the same story in different costumes.
8.7 Case Study – Chopin Prelude (C Minor, simplified)
Chopin’s Prelude in C minor begins with a melody supported by harmony.
Melody (DV):
| 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3S.1Q 4F.1Q 5F.1H |
= Do–Re–Mi♭–Fa–Sol = C–D–E♭–F–G
Chords (DV):
| 1F.1+3S.1+5F.1 | 5F.1+7B.1+2B.2+4F.2 | 1F.1+3S.1+5F.1 |
= Cm → G7 → Cm
๐ This shows that DV is not only for exercises but can describe real repertoire.
8.8 Exercises
-
Write a binary form melody in DV with A = Do–Mi–Sol, B = Re–Fa–La.
-
Create a ternary form (ABA) with A = Do–Re–Mi, B = La–Si–Do.
-
Sketch an exposition of a sonata in DV with T1 in C, T2 in G.
-

8.9 Chapter Summary
-
Form = how music is structured on the large scale.
-
DV can represent form with letters (A, B, C) and DV notation.
-
Binary = AB, Ternary = ABA, Sonata = exposition–development–recap, Rondo = ABACA, Variations = theme with changes.
-
Each DV pattern is shown with Do/Re/Mi (solfรจge) and C/D/E (letter names) to make it clear.
-
Case study (Chopin Prelude) proves DV works with real classical music.
๐ Chapter 9 – Orchestration & Texture in DV
9.1 What is Texture?
In music, texture describes how many voices or instruments are playing, and how they interact.
It is not only what notes are played, but also how the musical fabric feels.
The four main textures are:
-
Monophony – one melody, no accompaniment.
-
Homophony – melody with chordal support.
-
Polyphony – several independent melodies at the same time.
-
Heterophony – variations of the same melody performed together.
DV can represent all textures, since it can write:
-
A single melodic line,
-
Chords stacked with
+
, -
Parallel lines for multiple voices.
9.2 Monophony in DV
Monophony = a single melodic line, such as plain chant or a solo singer.
DV Example:
| 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 5F.1H |
Notes (solfรจge): Do–Re–Mi–Sol
Notes (letters): C–D–E–G
๐ This is the simplest texture — one clear melody, no harmony.
9.3 Homophony in DV
Homophony = melody supported by chords, moving together in the same rhythm.
This is the most common texture in hymns, pop songs, and ballads.
DV Example (melody + chords):
Melody: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 1F.2H |
Chords: | (1F.1+3B.1+5F.1)Q (2B.1+4F.1+6B.1)Q (3B.1+5F.1+7B.1)Q (1F.2+3B.2+5F.2)H |
Notes:
-
Melody = Do–Re–Mi–Do = C–D–E–C
-
Chords = C major → D minor → E minor → C major
๐ The chords move in rhythm with the melody, supporting it harmonically.
9.4 Polyphony in DV
Polyphony = two or more independent melodies woven together.
This was central in Renaissance and Baroque music (Palestrina, Bach).
DV Example (two voices):
Voice 1: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 4F.1Q |
Voice 2: | 5F.1Q 4F.1Q 3B.1Q 2B.1Q |
Notes (solfรจge):
-
Voice 1 = Do–Re–Mi–Fa
-
Voice 2 = Sol–Fa–Mi–Re
Letters:
-
Voice 1 = C–D–E–F
-
Voice 2 = G–F–E–D
๐ Each voice moves independently, but together they form consonant harmony.
9.5 Heterophony in DV
Heterophony = two or more performers play the same melody but with small variations (ornaments, rhythms).
It is common in folk traditions.
DV Example:
Voice 1: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 5F.1H |
Voice 2: | 1F.1E 2B.1E 3B.1E 5F.1H |
Notes:
-
Voice 1 = Do–Re–Mi–Sol (quarter notes + half)
-
Voice 2 = Do–Re–Mi (eighth notes) + Sol (half note)
๐ Both voices play the same melody but in different rhythms.
9.6 Orchestration in DV
Orchestration is the assignment of notes and textures to instruments.
In DV, this is done by labeling instruments and writing their parts in parallel.
Example: C Major Chord for Orchestra
Violins: | 1F.2H |
Violas: | 3B.1H |
Cellos: | 5F.0H |
Basses: | 1F.-1H |
Notes:
-
Violins = Do2 (C5)
-
Violas = Mi1 (E4)
-
Cellos = Sol0 (G3)
-
Basses = Do-1 (C2)
๐ Together, they form a C major chord spread across the orchestra.
9.7 Orchestral Texture Example (Homophony with Melody)
DV Example:
Flute (melody): | 1F.2Q 2B.2Q 3B.2Q 5F.2H |
Violins: | 1F.1Q 2B.1Q 3B.1Q 1F.2H |
Violas: | 3B.1H 4F.1H |
Cellos + Basses: | 1F.0H 5F.0H |
Notes:
-
Flute = Do2–Re2–Mi2–Sol2 (C5–D5–E5–G5)
-
Violins = Do1–Re1–Mi1–Do2 (C4–D4–E4–C5)
-
Violas = Mi1–Fa1 (E4–F4)
-
Cellos/Basses = Do0–Sol0 (C3–G3)
๐ The flute carries the melody, strings provide harmony, basses provide foundation = homophonic orchestral texture.
9.8 Exercises
-
Write a simple monophonic melody (4 notes) in DV.
-
Create a homophonic phrase in DV with melody = Do–Re–Mi–Do and chords supporting it.
-
Write a 2-voice polyphonic fragment in DV (each with 4 notes).
-
Show heterophony by writing the same melody in two rhythms.
-
Orchestrate a C major chord for 4 instruments using DV.
9.9 Chapter Summary
-
Texture = how voices or instruments combine.
-
DV represents texture clearly by writing parallel lines for different voices.
-
Monophony = one melody, Homophony = melody + chords, Polyphony = independent voices, Heterophony = melody in variants.
-
DV supports orchestration by assigning lines to instruments.
-
This makes DV useful not just for theory, but also for arranging and orchestral writing.
๐ Chapter 10 – Jazz & Popular Music in DV
10.1 Why Jazz & Pop Need Special DV Tools
While classical music is often notated with strict symbols, jazz and popular music rely on groove, rhythm, and flexibility.
Key features:
-
Swing rhythms (long–short feel for 8ths).
-
Extended chords (7ths, 9ths, 13ths).
-
Grooves and riffs (bass + drums drive the style).
-
Improvisation (solos created in real time).
DV allows all of these to be written in clear text, making jazz and pop theory accessible to anyone.
10.2 Swing Rhythm in DV
Swing means 8ths are uneven: the first is long, the second short (≈ triplet feel).
Straight 8ths (Classical):
| 1F.1E ; 2B.1E ; 3B.1E ; 4F.1E |
= Do–Re–Mi–Fa (C–D–E–F), even rhythm.
Swing 8ths (Jazz):
| 1F.1E(sw) ; 2B.1E(sw) ; 3B.1E(sw) ; 4F.1E(sw) |
= Same notes, but played long–short.
๐ (sw)
marks swing feel.
10.3 The Blues in DV
The 12-Bar Blues is the foundation of jazz, R&B, and rock.
Harmonic Pattern in C:
-
Bars 1–4: C7
-
Bars 5–6: F7
-
Bars 7–8: C7
-
Bar 9: G7
-
Bar 10: F7
-
Bar 11–12: C7 (or G7 turnaround)
DV Chords:
C7 = 1F.1+3B.1+5F.1+7S.1
F7 = 4F.1+6B.1+1F.2+3S.2
G7 = 5F.1+7B.1+2B.2+4F.2
๐ Progression:
| C7 | C7 | C7 | C7 |
| F7 | F7 | C7 | C7 |
| G7 | F7 | C7 | G7 |
10.4 Jazz Chords in DV
-
Major 7:
1+3B+5F+7B
→ Cmaj7 = C–E–G–B -
Dominant 7:
1+3B+5F+7S
→ C7 = C–E–G–B♭ -
Minor 7:
1+3S+5F+7S
→ Cm7 = C–E♭–G–B♭ -
Minor 7♭5:
1+3S+5b+7S
→ Cรธ7 = C–E♭–G♭–B♭ -
Diminished 7:
1+3S+5b+7bb
→ Cdim7 = C–E♭–G♭–B๐ซ -
9th: add
2B
→ C9 = C–E–G–B♭–D -
13th: add
6B
→ C13 = C–E–G–B♭–D–A
๐ Jazz harmony in DV is stacked with +
, easy to expand.
10.5 Pop Progressions in DV
Pop often uses repeating chord cycles.
The “Pop 4” (I–V–vi–IV):
In C major: C → G → Am → F
DV:
| 1 chord ; 5 chord ; 6 chord ; 4 chord |
Notes:
-
C = Do–Mi–Sol (C major)
-
G = Sol–Si–Re (G major)
-
Am = La–Do–Mi (A minor)
-
F = Fa–La–Do (F major)
๐ This progression is behind hundreds of pop songs.
10.6 Groove & Rhythm Sections in DV (Drum + Bass)
Drum Notation Rules
-
K = Kick
-
S = Snare
-
Hc = Hi-hat closed
-
Ho = Hi-hat open
-
C = Cymbal/Ride/Crash
-
T = Tom(s)
-
0 = rest
-
Durations:
Q
= quarter,E
= eighth, etc. -
+ = simultaneous hit
-
; = separates subdivisions inside a measure.
Example 1: Basic Rock Beat (4/4)
| HcQ+KQ ; HcQ+SQ ; HcQ+KQ ; HcQ+SQ |
-
Hi-hat steady quarters.
-
Kick on beats 1 + 3.
-
Snare on beats 2 + 4.
Example 2: Funk Groove (with 8ths)
| HcE+KQ ; HcE ; HcE+SQ ; HcE ; HcE+KQ ; HcE ; HcE+SQ ; HcE |
-
Hi-hat drives 8ths.
-
Kick on 1 + 3.
-
Snare on 2 + 4.
Example 3: Jazz Ride Pattern
| CE ; CE ; 0E ; CE ; CE ; 0E ; CE+SQ ; KQ |
-
Cymbal = swing ride.
-
Snare = light accents.
-
Kick = feathered support.
Example 4: Billie Jean Groove (4-Bar Intro)
Bar 1–3 (same):
| HcE+KQ ; HcE ; HcE+SQ ; HcE ; HcE+KQ ; HcE ; HcE+SQ ; HcE |
Bar 4 (ending with open hi-hat):
| HcE+KQ ; HcE ; HcE+SQ ; HcE ; HcE+KQ ; HcE ; HcE+SQ ; HoE |
๐ Hi-hat steady 8ths, Kick on 1+3, Snare on 2+4, last bar opens hi-hat = iconic Michael Jackson intro.
Bass Line Example – Walking in C
| 1F.1Q ; 3B.1Q ; 5F.1Q ; 6B.1Q |
= C–E–G–A
10.7 Improvisation in DV
Improvisation = creating music live.
DV supports it by combining scales + rhythm patterns.
C Blues Scale in DV:
1F ; 3S ; 4F ; 5S ; 5F ; 7S ; 1F.2
= C–E♭–F–G♭–G–B♭–C
Improvisation Example:
| 1F.1Q ; 3S.1E ; 4F.1E ; 5F.1Q ; 7S.1Q |
= C–E♭–F–G–B♭
๐ Scales act as “note banks” for DV improvisation.

-
Improvisation is possible by writing scales + rhythmic cells.
DV makes jazz and pop notation simple, compact, and universal.
๐ Chapter 11 – World Music & Multilingual DV (Updated)
11.1 Why World Music Matters in DV
Music theory is not only Western. Across cultures, music uses:
-
Different scales (ragas in India, maqamat in the Middle East, pentatonics in East Asia, folk modes in Europe, African tonalities).
-
Different rhythms (cyclic patterns, uneven beats).
-
Different languages to describe the same degrees (Do–Re–Mi, Sa–Re–Ga, etc.).
DV is designed to be universal:
-
Numbers = scale degrees.
-
Dot notation = octave placement.
-
Capital letters = durations (Q, E, H, W).
-
Percussion = letters (K, S, Hc, Ho, C, T).
Thus, DV can represent global traditions with a single system.
11.2 Folk Scales in DV
Example: Pentatonic Scale (C Major Pentatonic)
DV:
1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 5 ; 6 ; 8
Notes (solfรจge): Do–Re–Mi–Sol–La–Do
Notes (letters): C–D–E–G–A–C
๐ Common in Chinese, Japanese, and African folk music.
11.3 Ragas in DV (Indian Classical)
Example: Raga Yaman (ascending, C as tonic)
DV:
1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4# ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8
Sargam (Indian solfรจge): Sa–Re–Ga–Ma♯–Pa–Dha–Ni–Sa
Letters: C–D–E–F♯–G–A–B–C
๐ Shows how DV expresses raga structure directly.
11.4 Maqamat in DV (Middle Eastern)
Example: Maqam Hijaz (C)
DV:
1 ; 2b ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6b ; 7 ; 8
Arabic solfรจge: Do–Re♭–Mi–Fa–Sol–La♭–Si–Do
Letters: C–D♭–E–F–G–A♭–B–C
๐ DV can clearly mark microtonal accidentals like ♭ (b) and ♯ (#).
11.5 African & Caribbean Rhythms in DV
Rhythms are central to African and Caribbean traditions.
DV uses letters for percussion instruments with capital-letter durations.
Example: African Bell Pattern (12/8)
| CQ ; 0Q ; CQ ; 0Q ; CQ ; 0Q ; CQ ; 0Q ; CQ ; 0Q ; CQ ; 0Q |
= Steady bell pulse on every other beat.
Example: Salsa Clave (3-2 Clave, 2 bars)
Bar 1: | KQ ; 0E ; KQ ; 0E ; SQ ; 0Q ; 0Q ; 0Q |
Bar 2: | 0Q ; KQ ; 0E ; KQ ; 0E ; SQ ; 0Q ; 0Q |
๐ Written compactly with percussion letters + capital durations.
11.6 Multilingual DV Notation
DV adapts to different solfรจge systems:
-
Latin/European: Do–Re–Mi–Fa–Sol–La–Si
-
English: C–D–E–F–G–A–B
-
Indian: Sa–Re–Ga–Ma–Pa–Dha–Ni
-
Arabic/Turkish: Rast–Dukah–Segah–Busalik, etc.
-
Chinese: Gong–Shang–Jue–Zhi–Yu

๐ Chapter 12 – Advanced Harmony & Modern Music in DV (Updated with Notes)
12.1 Why Modern Music Needs DV
From the 20th century onward, music expanded beyond traditional tonal rules:
-
Atonality (no key center).
-
Serialism (12-tone rows).
-
Minimalism (patterns, repetition).
-
Polyrhythms (overlapping cycles).
Traditional notation struggles with clarity here.
DV allows direct text-based representation, and now we add note names for comparison.
12.2 Atonality in DV
Atonal music treats all 12 pitches equally.
DV Example: Chromatic Row
1 ; 2# ; 2 ; 3b ; 3 ; 4 ; 4# ; 5 ; 5# ; 6 ; 7b ; 7
Notes (letters): C – C♯ – D – E♭ – E – F – F♯ – G – G♯ – A – B♭ – B
Solfรจge: Do – Di – Re – Me – Mi – Fa – Fi – Sol – Si – La – Te – Ti
๐ DV lists the entire chromatic collection without needing a key.
12.3 Serialism (12-Tone Rows)
Schoenberg’s system arranges all 12 pitches in a fixed series.
DV Example (Row):
1 ; 4# ; 2 ; 6 ; 3b ; 5# ; 7 ; 2# ; 5 ; 3 ; 7b ; 4
Notes (letters): C – F♯ – D – A – E♭ – G♯ – B – D♯ – G – E – B♭ – F
Solfรจge: Do – Fi – Re – La – Me – Si – Ti – Ri – Sol – Mi – Te – Fa
๐ Transformations (prime, inversion, retrograde) are easily tracked in DV.
12.4 Minimalism in DV
Minimalism repeats small “cells” with gradual variation.
DV Cell:
| 1Q ; 3Q ; 5Q |
Notes: C – E – G
Solfรจge: Do – Mi – Sol
Variation:
| 1Q ; 3Q ; 5Q ; 6Q |
Notes: C – E – G – A
Solfรจge: Do – Mi – Sol – La
๐ Staff notation would require many bars, DV is compact.
12.5 Polyrhythms in DV
Polyrhythm = two rhythms overlapping.
Example: 3 vs 2
Voice A: | 1Q ; 0Q ; 1Q |
Voice B: | 2H ; 2H |
Notes (Voice A): C – (rest) – C
Notes (Voice B): D – D
Solfรจge: Do vs Re
Example: 4 vs 3
Voice A: | 1Q ; 2Q ; 3Q ; 4Q |
Voice B: | 5H ; 6H ; 7H |
Voice A Notes: C – D – E – F (Do–Re–Mi–Fa)
Voice B Notes: G – A – B (Sol–La–Si)
๐ Polyrhythms are easy to align in DV.
12.6 Stravinsky in DV
Stravinsky used irregular groupings.
DV Example (2+2+3 grouping):
| 1Q ; 1Q ; 1E ; 1E ; 1Q ; 1Q ; 1Q |
Notes: C – C – C – C – C – C – C
Solfรจge: Do repeated, but grouped irregularly.
๐ DV highlights groupings directly with durations.
12.7 Schoenberg in DV
DV Example (atonal fragment):
| 1E ; 2#E ; 4Q ; 5#Q ; 7bE ; 3E ; 6Q |
Notes: C – C♯ – F – G♯ – B♭ – E – A
Solfรจge: Do – Di – Fa – Si – Te – Mi – La
๐ DV makes interval relationships clear without a tonal center.
12.8 Exercises
-
Write a 12-tone row in DV and label the notes (letters + solfรจge).
-
Create a minimalist DV cell (3 notes) and then expand it by 1 note.
-
Notate a 3 vs 2 polyrhythm in DV and show the notes.
-
Write an irregular rhythm grouping (e.g., 2+3+2) using one pitch.
-
Take a tonal melody (C–D–E–F–G) and alter it into atonal form with accidentals.
12.9 Chapter Summary
-
Atonality: DV lists all 12 chromatic notes with accidentals.
-
Serialism: rows are compact in DV, with letters + solfรจge as reference.
-
Minimalism: DV shows repeating cells clearly.
-
Polyrhythms: DV aligns independent rhythms.
-
Modern composers like Stravinsky (irregular accents) and Schoenberg (atonality/serialism) can be notated cleanly in DV.
DV thus becomes a bridge between theory and modern practice, easy for students, analysts, and even AI systems.
๐ Chapter 13 – Analysis & Composition in DV
13.1 Why Analyze with DV?
Analysis means asking: How does the music work?
-
Which notes create the melody?
-
Which chords support the melody?
-
How do sections repeat or contrast?
Traditional notation uses many signs (staff, clefs, accidentals).
DV simplifies analysis into numbers + durations, while still allowing comparison with Do–Re–Mi and letter notes.
DV makes analysis transparent for:
-
Beginners (clear patterns in numbers).
-
Advanced students (intervals and structures).
-
Composers (directly test their own ideas).
13.2 Step 1 – Analyzing a Melody
Example: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (C Major)
DV:
| 1Q ; 1Q ; 5Q ; 5Q ; 6Q ; 6Q ; 5H |
| 4Q ; 4Q ; 3Q ; 3Q ; 2Q ; 2Q ; 1H |
Notes (letters): C–C–G–G–A–A–G | F–F–E–E–D–D–C
Solfรจge: Do–Do–Sol–Sol–La–La–Sol | Fa–Fa–Mi–Mi–Re–Re–Do
๐ DV shows the repetition (AA–BB) clearly in numbers.
13.3 Step 2 – Analyzing Chords
Example: C Major → F Major → G Major
DV:
C major = 1+3B+5F
F major = 4+6B+1.2
G major = 5+7B+2.2
Notes:
-
C major = C–E–G
-
F major = F–A–C
-
G major = G–B–D
๐ DV chord stacks are simple and precise.
13.4 Step 3 – Harmonic Progressions
Example: I–IV–V–I (C major)
DV:
| (1+3B+5F) ; (4+6B+1.2) ; (5+7B+2.2) ; (1+3B+5F) |
Notes: C–E–G → F–A–C → G–B–D → C–E–G
Solfรจge: Do–Mi–Sol → Fa–La–Do → Sol–Ti–Re → Do–Mi–Sol
๐ DV shows the backbone of Western harmony directly.
13.5 Step 4 – Analyzing Form
DV Example (Binary Form):
A: | 1Q ; 2Q ; 3Q ; 1H |
B: | 5Q ; 6Q ; 7Q ; 5H |
Notes:
-
A = C–D–E–C
-
B = G–A–B–G
๐ DV reveals the A–B contrast at a glance.
13.6 Step 5 – Composing in DV
Melody Composition (C major)
| 1Q ; 3Q ; 5Q ; 6Q ; 5H |
Notes: C–E–G–A–G
Solfรจge: Do–Mi–Sol–La–Sol
๐ Simple rising melody.
Add Harmony
| (1+3B+5F) ; (4+6B+1.2) ; (5+7B+2.2) ; (1+3B+5F) |
Notes: C chord → F chord → G chord → C chord
๐ Now the melody has a harmonic foundation.
13.7 Step 6 – Adding Rhythm & Texture
With Drums (Pop Beat)
Melody: | 1Q ; 3Q ; 5Q ; 6Q ; 5H |
Drums: | HcQ+KQ ; HcQ+SQ ; HcQ+KQ ; HcQ+SQ |
๐ Melody + Groove = song skeleton.
13.8 Step 7 – Expanding to a Composition
-
Start with scale (DV:
1–2–3–4–5–6–7–8
). -
Pick a motif (e.g.,
1–3–5
). -
Repeat + vary (change rhythm, octave, harmony).
-
Build chords underneath.
-
Add rhythm section (drums, bass).
-
Arrange for instruments (orchestra, band, soloist).
DV makes each step traceable in text form.
13.9 Exercises
-
Analyze “Happy Birthday” in DV, noting melody and harmony.
-
Write a I–V–vi–IV progression in DV (in C or G).
-
Compose a 4-note motif in DV and vary it three times.
-
Add a drum groove (letters only) under a simple melody.
-
Write a short binary form (A–B) in DV with both melody + chords.
13.10 Chapter Summary
-
DV simplifies analysis: melody, chords, form all visible as numbers.
-
DV supports composition: from motifs → harmony → rhythm → arrangement.
-
Notes and solfรจge allow easy comparison to degrees.
-
DV bridges theory and creativity — you can study a Mozart piece or write a pop song with the same notation.
๐ Chapter 14 – Improvisation & Live DV
14.1 What is Improvisation?
Improvisation means creating music in the moment.
Instead of following a fixed score, the performer:
-
Chooses notes from a scale or chord.
-
Shapes rhythm spontaneously.
-
Responds to the groove, harmony, or audience.
In DV, improvisation is easy because:
-
Scales = lists of degrees.
-
Chords = stacked numbers.
-
Rhythm = durations.
-
Drums and bass grooves can be added live.
๐ DV can even guide DJ sets, jam sessions, and live coding for AI/robots.
14.2 Scales as Improvisation Maps
C Major Scale (DV):
1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8
Notes (letters): C–D–E–F–G–A–B–C
Solfรจge: Do–Re–Mi–Fa–Sol–La–Si–Do
๐ Any note in the scale can be played during improvisation.
C Blues Scale (DV):
1 ; 3b ; 4 ; 5b ; 5 ; 7b ; 8
Notes (letters): C–E♭–F–G♭–G–B♭–C
Solfรจge: Do–Me–Fa–Se–Sol–Te–Do
๐ This scale creates the “blues” sound instantly.
14.3 Improvising Over Chords
Example: C → F → G progression
Chords (DV):
| (1+3+5) | (4+6+1.2) | (5+7+2.2) | (1+3+5) |
Notes:
-
C chord = C–E–G
-
F chord = F–A–C
-
G chord = G–B–D
Improvisation (DV):
| 1Q ; 3Q ; 5E ; 6E ; 5Q |
Notes: C–E–G–A–G
Solfรจge: Do–Mi–Sol–La–Sol
๐ The improviser chooses notes inside or around the chord/scale.
14.4 Rhythmic Improvisation
Improvisation is not only pitch — rhythm matters equally.
DV Example (syncopated phrase):
| 1E ; 0E ; 3Q ; 5E ; 0E ; 6Q |
Notes: C–(rest)–E–G–(rest)–A
Solfรจge: Do–(rest)–Mi–Sol–(rest)–La
๐ The rests (0
) create syncopation.
14.5 Call and Response in DV
A common jazz and blues technique = question + answer.
Question (DV):
| 1Q ; 2Q ; 3H |
= C–D–E (Do–Re–Mi)
Answer (DV):
| 5Q ; 4Q ; 3H |
= G–F–E (Sol–Fa–Mi)
๐ This creates dialogue inside the solo.
14.6 Improvisation with Drums & Bass
Groove (Drums, 1 Bar Rock Beat):
| HcQ+KQ ; HcQ+SQ ; HcQ+KQ ; HcQ+SQ |
Walking Bass (C major):
| 1Q ; 3Q ; 5Q ; 6Q |
= C–E–G–A
Improvisation (Melody):
| 1E ; 2E ; 3Q ; 5E ; 6E ; 5Q |
= C–D–E–G–A–G
๐ All three layers (drums, bass, solo) fit together in DV.
14.7 DV for DJs and Live Sets
DV can be used in:
-
DJing: mark loops and beats with DV rhythm text.
-
Live coding: feed DV into AI or software to generate real-time music.
-
Jam sessions: musicians can share DV text quickly (“play 1–3–5–6 in swing feel”).
14.8 Exercises
-
Write an 8-note improvisation in C major using DV.
-
Create a blues improvisation with the C blues scale.
-
Improvise rhythmically using rests (0) in DV.
-
Write a call-and-response phrase (2 bars each) in DV.
-
Combine drums, bass, and melody in DV for a 1-bar jam.
14.9 Chapter Summary
-
Improvisation = creating music live.
-
DV shows scales as note banks for improvisation.
-
Chords + scales guide solo notes.
-
Rhythm (rests, syncopation) is as important as pitch.
-
Call-and-response creates dialogue.
-
DV works for live bands, DJs, and AI systems alike.
DV makes improvisation clear, teachable, and shareable in text form.
๐ Chapter 15 – DV for AI & Robotics
15.1 Why DV for Machines?
Traditional notation (staff, clefs) is designed for human musicians.
But:
-
Computers read numbers and symbols faster than graphic staves.
-
Robots need precise frequency, duration, and rhythm data.
-
AI systems require consistent symbolic input to learn, generate, and perform music.
๐ DV is textual, numeric, and universal, making it an ideal bridge between human musicianship and machine execution.
15.2 From DV to Frequency
Every DV degree corresponds to a frequency in Hz, based on tuning.
Example: C Major Scale (A4 = 440 Hz tuning)
1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8
Notes (letters): C–D–E–F–G–A–B–C
Frequencies (approx Hz, octave 4):
-
C4 = 261.6 Hz
-
D4 = 293.7 Hz
-
E4 = 329.6 Hz
-
F4 = 349.2 Hz
-
G4 = 392.0 Hz
-
A4 = 440.0 Hz
-
B4 = 493.9 Hz
-
C5 = 523.3 Hz
๐ DV can easily be mapped to machine frequency tables.
15.3 From DV to MIDI
MIDI is the standard protocol for digital music devices.
DV translates directly:
DV Example:
| 1Q ; 3Q ; 5Q ; 8H |

๐ Chapter 16 – DV in Education
16.1 Why DV in Education?
Traditional notation is powerful but often overwhelming for beginners:
-
Staff lines, clefs, and accidentals confuse early learners.
-
Rhythmic symbols (beams, dots, rests) are difficult to grasp.
-
Many students give up before reaching deeper understanding.
DV simplifies notation with:
-
Numbers for degrees.
-
Dots for octaves.
-
Capital letters for durations (Q, E, H, W).
-
Letters for drums.
-
Durations for chords (e.g.,
(1+3+5)Q
= C major chord quarter).
๐ This makes DV a consistent system that works across all levels of music education.
16.2 DV for Beginners (Elementary & High School)
C Major Scale:
1Q ; 2Q ; 3Q ; 4Q ; 5Q ; 6Q ; 7Q ; 8Q
Notes: C–D–E–F–G–A–B–C
Solfรจge: Do–Re–Mi–Fa–Sol–La–Si–Do
First Rhythm Exercise:
| 1Q ; 2Q ; 3Q ; 4Q |
๐ Students see pitch + rhythm without needing the staff.
16.3 DV for Intermediate Students
At high school level, students can start analyzing harmony and progressions.
Chord Progression (I–V–vi–IV in C):
| (1+3+5)Q ; (5+7+2.2)Q ; (6+1.2+3.2)Q ; (4+6+1.2)Q |
Notes:
-
C major = C–E–G
-
G major = G–B–D
-
A minor = A–C–E
-
F major = F–A–C
๐ Durations make it possible to hear rhythm + harmony together.
16.4 DV for Advanced Students (University)
Advanced learners can use DV for counterpoint, analysis, and composition.
Two-Voice Example (Polyphony):
Voice 1: | 1Q ; 2Q ; 3Q ; 4Q |
Voice 2: | (5+7+2.2)H ; (4+6+1.2)H |
Notes:
-
Voice 1 = C–D–E–F (Do–Re–Mi–Fa)
-
Voice 2 = G chord (G–B–D) → F chord (F–A–C)
๐ Harmony + rhythm are explicit with chord durations.
16.5 DV in Music Technology & AI Education
DV prepares students for modern music tech:
-
DV → MIDI → playback

Music research spans multiple fields:
-
Ethnomusicology (study of world traditions).
-
Computational musicology (music + data science).
-
Cross-disciplinary arts (music with dance, theater, robotics).
Traditional notation often limits research because:
-
It is culture-specific (Western staves).
-
It requires special literacy.
-
It struggles with modern applications (AI, robotics).
DV offers a universal symbolic language:
-
Numbers = degrees (absolute & relative).
-
Dots = octaves.
-
Durations = Q/E/H/W.
-
Chords = grouped with duration
(1+3+5)Q
. -
Drums & percussion = letters.
๐ This consistency allows research across cultures, centuries, and technologies.
17.2 DV in Ethnomusicology
Ethnomusicologists compare music traditions worldwide.
DV makes scales and rhythms cross-comparable.
Example: Comparing Scales
Western C Major:
1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8
= C–D–E–F–G–A–B–C
Indian Raga Yaman (C):
1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4# ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8
= C–D–E–F♯–G–A–B–C
Middle Eastern Maqam Hijaz (C):
1 ; 2b ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6b ; 7 ; 8
= C–D♭–E–F–G–A♭–B–C
๐ With DV, scales from three cultures can be placed side by side, showing differences at a glance.

Chapter 20 – Summary & Outlook
20.1 Looking Back: The Journey Through DV Language
This book began with a simple idea: that music should be as easy to read, write, and share as a spoken language. For centuries, traditional staff notation has been the dominant tool for musicians, yet it requires years of study before it becomes truly natural. Many talented players and listeners have been excluded from deeper musical study because they felt locked out by notation’s complexity.
DV Language changes that. By reducing the essentials of music to numbers, letters, and a small set of clear symbols, it brings theory and practice into the reach of anyone who loves sound. From the first scale you learned in Chapter 3, to the complex counterpoint explored in Chapter 12, DV Language has shown itself to be simple, flexible, and powerful.
This journey has not been about discarding tradition but about extending the map. Just as a new alphabet can open literacy to a population, DV offers a parallel script for the world of music—one that welcomes more learners, while still respecting the richness of the old.
20.2 The Core Achievements of DV Language
Across the chapters, DV has proven to be:
-
Universal – It works equally well for piano, drums, strings, electronic music, and even voice.
-
Accessible – A complete beginner can read “1 2 3 4” faster than deciphering notation.
-
Precise – Durations, octaves, and harmonies can be written without ambiguity.
-
Expandable – From simple grooves to advanced polyphony, DV grows with the musician.
-
Bridging – It provides a direct link between human musicians and artificial intelligence.
By mastering DV, students can approach music from multiple angles: as players, composers, analysts, or even digital creators. For teachers, DV is a tool to shorten the learning curve while still preparing students for deeper exploration of traditional notation if they choose.
20.3 DV in Practice: A Reflection
One of the most striking aspects of DV Language is its ability to serve both hobbyists and professionals. A young student learning chords on a guitar can write progressions like “(1+3+5)Q ; (4+6+1)Q” and hear harmony immediately. At the same time, an academic can notate a Bach chorale, a jazz solo, or a DJ set with clarity and efficiency.
The accessibility of DV makes it ideal for inclusive classrooms—those where students arrive with different cultural backgrounds, instruments, or levels of experience. Because DV does not privilege one system over another, it feels like common ground.
And in a world where technology plays an ever-growing role in music, DV offers something few systems can: it is machine-readable yet human-friendly. A robot, an app, or an AI model can parse DV easily, while humans can still read it aloud, share it on paper, or type it into a phone.
20.4 The Future Horizons of DV Language
1. Education
DV can reshape how music is taught. Schools may adopt it as a gateway language, ensuring that every student leaves with musical literacy, even if they never touch staff notation. For advanced programs, DV can sit alongside staff notation as a second script—much like learning both a native and foreign tongue.
2. Technology and AI
As artificial intelligence becomes a co-composer, DV may become its preferred grammar. Machines will be able to read, generate, and transform DV code into real sound instantly, while collaborating with humans in real time. From music-making apps to smart instruments, DV could be the shared layer where human creativity meets digital precision.
3. Global Culture
Music is universal, but notation has long been fragmented by tradition. DV has the potential to unify African rhythms, Indian ragas, Western symphonies, Middle Eastern maqamat, and electronic beats under one textual framework. This does not erase differences; rather, it offers a shared translation space where cross-cultural music can flourish.
4. Publishing and Distribution
Imagine a future where sheet music is sold in DV editions, where streaming platforms show DV code alongside lyrics, and where apps allow users to instantly transpose, remix, or analyze music written in DV. The market for music publishing could be revitalized by this layer of simplicity and adaptability.
20.5 Closing Outlook
Music is one of humanity’s greatest treasures. It crosses borders, heals wounds, and gives form to emotions that words cannot. Yet the tools we use to capture and transmit music have always been imperfect. DV Language is not the end of that journey, but it may be one of its most important steps forward.
By offering a clear, intuitive, and universal code, DV Language invites more people into the circle of musical understanding. It reduces fear, lowers barriers, and opens doors. For professionals, it accelerates work. For beginners, it sparks joy. For machines, it provides clarity. For culture, it promises a shared script of sound.
As you close this book, remember that DV is not just a tool—it is a living language. It grows with you, adapts to your needs, and invites you to create. Where staff notation once carried music through centuries, DV may carry it into the next.
The outlook is not only musical but human: a world where everyone has the chance to read, write, and share music freely. And perhaps, in that world, music will become even closer to what it has always promised to be: a universal voice of humanity, and now, also of AI.

About DV Language for Piano
DV Language (David Violin Language) is a new, intuitive way to write and read music. Where traditional notation can seem distant and symbolic, DV is immediate, textual, and logical.
Instead of staff lines and clefs, DV uses:
- Do–Re–Mi system with octave numbers
- Example:
Do4
,Mi5
- Finger numbers for piano
- Right Hand: 1 = thumb → 5 = pinky
- Left Hand: 1 = thumb → 5 = pinky
- Durations with simple letters
Q
= quarter note,H
= half note,E
= eighth note,W
= whole note,S
= sixteenth- Bar boxes to group notes logically for each hand
By combining these elements, DV makes Chopin’s music readable in a step-by-step, direct format. Each note tells you exactly:
- which key to play (Do–Re–Mi with octave),
- which finger to use,
- how long to hold it.
It is as if the score itself is giving you clear instructions, in plain musical language.
How to Read DV Notation
Here is the basic format:
FingerNoteOctaveDuration
- Finger = which finger plays the note
- Note = Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti
- Octave = the register number (e.g., 3 = lower, 4 = middle, 5 = higher)
- Duration = Q, H, E, W, S
Examples:
1Mi4Q
→ play Mi in octave 4 with thumb (RH) for a quarter note5Do3H
→ play Do in octave 3 with pinky (LH) for a half note2Sol5E
→ play Sol in octave 5 with index finger (RH) for an eighth note
Bars are grouped like this:
Right Hand: | 1Do4Q ; 3Mi4Q ; 5Sol4H |
Left Hand: | 5Do3H ; 1Sol3H |
This format shows the two hands separately but in parallel, bar by bar.
With a little practice, the reader can “hear” and “see” Chopin’s works directly from DV notation — no need to translate from traditional staff notation.

✅ Benefits of this format:
- Each box clearly shows 4 quarters.
- Easy to count and align rhythm.
- Keeps the DV style (text + durations) but feels like a grid of measures.
Since Bach’s Prelude is in C major, the mapping is:
- C = Do (1)
- D = Re (2)
- E = Mi (3)
- F = Fa (4)
- G = Sol (5)
- A = La (6)
- B = Ti (7)
- C (next octave) = Do1 (8)
Durations: S = sixteenth, H = half note, W = whole note.
Octave numbers can still be shown if you want to keep the register clear.

๐ป J.S. Bach — Violin Partita №2 in D minor, BWV 1004
Since this Partita is in D minor, we map degrees like this:
- 1 = D = Do
- 2 = E = Re
- 3 = F = Mi
- 4 = G = Fa
- 5 = A = Sol
- 6 = Bb = La♭ (or Le if using movable-do minor solfรจge)
- 7 = C = Ti♭ (or Te)
- 8 = D (octave) = Do¹
Durations:
Q = quarter, E = eighth, H = half, S = sixteenth.

DV Degrees: | 1Q ; 3E ; 5E ; 6Q ; 5Q ; 4Q ; 3Q |

Do–Re–Mi: | (Do+Mi)H ; SolH |
✅ This way, each bar shows:
- DV absolute degree notation (numbers).
- Solmization (Do–Re–Mi) so singers and traditional learners can read it.
Performance notes ๐ถ
- Tempo: ♩ = 96 (Allegro Moderato).
- Structure: 8-bar theme that can repeat, then expand into development.
- Harmony: Classical I–V–vi–IV style but simplified into DV syllables.
- Easy for students, but elegant enough to sound like a true “prelude/sonata” opening.
We can insert these signs before the notes in the DV transcription. Normally:
- A down-bow (>) starts a strong beat or new phrase.
- An up-bow (<) starts lighter pickups or prepares a down-bow.

✅ With bow directions (> <) included:
- > (down-bow) = strong beat / new phrase.
- < (up-bow) = pickup / lighter continuation.
This makes the DV transcription performable directly by a violinist — they don’t need to guess phrasing or bow direction.
> = Down-bow (๐ช) — strong beat, new phrase.

Theory:
- Bar 1: i chord (D minor) arpeggiated → tonic established.
- Bar 2: ♭VII chord (C major) → modal mixture, common in Bach.
- Bar 3: VI chord (B diminished color / G minor arpeggio) → tension.
- Bar 4: V/iv (A chord with slide ♭7→6) → prepares modulation.

Theory:
- Bar 5: IV chord (G minor), introduces subdominant.
- Bar 6: ♭III (F major), strong modal cadence.
- Bar 7: ii° (E diminished), classic pre-dominant.
- Bar 8: V (A chord), dominant preparation.

Theory:
- Bach repeats the i → ♭VII → VI → V/iv cycle.
- This reinforces tonic and sets up longer harmonic sequence.
- The slides (♭7→6) again highlight voice-leading.

Perfect ✅ — let’s now prepare a complete DV piece for 2 guitars where:
- Guitar 1 (Lead): plays the melody line (Do–Re–Mi solfรจge or degree numbers).
- Guitar 2 (Rhythm): plays the chords (letters + DV chord boxes).
This way, your book shows how DV works for ensemble playing: one instrument carrying melody, another providing harmony.

๐ Chapter + : Technical Article on DV Language
Abstract
This technical article defines DV Language (David Violin Language) as a symbolic system for representing music in a human-readable and machine-readable format. Unlike traditional notation, which relies on staves and clefs, DV encodes all elements of music—pitch, duration, harmony, rhythm, and form—into concise alphanumeric codes. The language is designed to serve musicians, educators, and AI systems alike.
1. Pitch Encoding
-
Degrees (relative): Numbers
1–7
represent diatonic scale degrees. Example:1 = tonic, 5 = dominant
. -
Fixed Notes (absolute): Notes can be written by name with octave numbers, e.g.
C4
,D#3
,F5
. -
Accidentals:
+
raises by semitone (2+ = D# if in C major),-
lowers by semitone (3- = Eb). -
Octaves:
-
Subscripts or numbers after the note:
C4Q
,E5H
. -
Apostrophes for shorthand:
C' = C5
,C'' = C6
.
-
Examples:
-
C4Q
→ Middle C, quarter note -
A3H
→ A below middle C, half note
2. Duration Encoding
-
W = whole
-
H = half
-
Q = quarter
-
E = eighth
-
S = sixteenth
-
Dots extend duration:
Q.
= dotted quarter,H..
= double-dotted half. -
Rests: same format with prefix
R
→RQ
,RH
,RS
.
Examples:
-
G4Q.
→ G in 4th octave, dotted quarter note -
RS
→ sixteenth rest
3. Chords & Harmony
-
Chord roots written by note or degree.
-
Chord type abbreviations:
-
Major =
C
-
Minor =
Cm
orEm
-
Dominant seventh =
C7
-
Major seventh =
Cmaj7
-
Minor seventh =
Cm7
-
Diminished =
Cdim
-
Augmented =
Caug
-
-
Duration follows chord symbol:
-
EmQ
= E minor chord, quarter note -
C7H
= C dominant 7th, half note -
(1+3+5)Q
= generic triad in degree-based DV form
-
-
Chord progressions:
-
Cmaj7Q ; AmQ ; DmQ ; G7H
-
Degree form:
(1+3+5+7)Q ; (6+1+3)Q ; (2+4+6)Q ; (5+7+2+4)H
-
4. Polyphony & Voice Separation
-
Multiple voices separated with vertical bars
|
.-
Example:
-
Right hand:
C4Q ; E4Q ; G4Q |
-
Left hand:
C3H ; G2H
-
-
This allows two or more independent lines to be written in one compact DV score.
5. Form & Structural Symbols
-
Measure bars:
||
separate measures. -
Repeats:
:||
marks repetition. -
Sections:
[A], [B], [C]
for form blocks. -
Tempo:
♩=120
orQ=120
.
6. Machine Readability
-
DV can be encoded as plain text (
C4Q
), CSV (Note,Octave,Duration
), or JSON ({"note": "C", "octave": 4, "duration": "Q"}
). -
Compatible with MIDI translation:
-
C4Q
→ Note On (60), duration quarter. -
EmQ
→ simultaneous notes (64, 67, 71).
-
7. Example: Complete DV Score
Traditional Notation (I–V–vi–IV in C Major):
C – G – Am – F, each a quarter note.DV Language:
-
By chord symbols:
CmajQ ; GQ ; AmQ ; FQ ||
-
By degree symbols:
(1+3+5)Q ; (5+7+2)Q ; (6+1+3)Q ; (4+6+1)Q ||
-
By note form with octaves:
C4E4G4Q ; G3D4B3Q ; A3C4E4Q ; F3A3C4Q ||
8. Applications Beyond Music
-
AI training: DV reduces musical complexity into standardized tokens, perfect for symbolic AI/ML.
Digital publishing: Can be shared as plain text, SMS, or web code.
-
Cross-cultural bridging: Enables Western, Eastern, and electronic traditions to share a common code.
Conclusion
DV Language unifies notes, chords, octaves, and rhythms into a simple but extensible script.
EmQ
,C7H
,G4E
, or(1+3+5)Q
can all coexist, giving DV flexibility to serve musicians, educators, and algorithms alike. This chapter defines DV not only as notation but as a formal technical language for the future of music.- Chapter + : Technical Article on DV Notations
Abstract
This article defines the notation systems inside DV Language. It presents three parallel layers—Degrees, Notes (Do-Re-Mi), and Percussion—each compatible with DV’s rhythmic and harmonic logic.
1. Note Notation in DV
1.1 Solfรจge-Based (Do–Re–Mi)
-
Notes are written by solfรจge name + octave + duration.
-
Examples:
-
Do1Q
= C in octave 1, quarter note -
Re2H
= D in octave 2, half note -
Mi4E.
= E in octave 4, dotted eighth note
-
This helps beginners link DV to vocal training.
1.2 Letter-Based (C–D–E)
-
Traditional letter names can be used.
-
Examples:
-
C4Q
= middle C, quarter note -
F#3H
= F sharp in octave 3, half note
-
1.3 Degree-Based (1–7)
-
Pure scale-degree representation.
-
Examples:
-
1Q
= tonic as quarter note -
5H
= dominant as half note -
7- E
= lowered seventh as eighth note
-
2. Chords & Harmony
-
Degree form:
(1+3+5)Q
= tonic triad. -
Note form:
C4E4G4Q
. -
Chord symbol form:
CmajQ
;EmQ
;F7H
.
This triple flexibility allows students to choose the representation that makes most sense.
3. Drum & Percussion Notation
DV introduces a compact percussion system:
-
K
= Kick drum -
S
= Snare -
Hc
= Hi-hat closed -
Ho
= Hi-hat open -
T1, T2, T3
= Toms -
C
= Cymbal
Durations apply as usual (
Q
,E
,S
).Examples:
-
KQ ; SQ ; HcE
→ kick, snare, hi-hat closed -
KQ ; HcE+S
→ layered kick + snare with hi-hat eighth
Complex grooves:
Bar 1: | KQ ; HcE+S ; HcE ; KQ ; S ; HcE ; HcE | Bar 2: | KQ ; KQ ; S ; HcE+K ; HcE ; S |
This makes rhythm writing as simple as typing text.
4. Integrating Systems
-
A melody can be written as D
o1Q ; Re1Q ; Mi1Q
. -
The same melody as degrees:
1Q ; 2Q ; 3Q
. -
With absolute notes:
C4Q ; D4Q ; E4Q
. -
Harmonized with percussion:
-
C4E4G4Q | KQ ; HcE+S
-
5. Machine & Human Duality
-
Text codes like
do1Q
orEmQ
are readable by humans and tokenized by AI. -
Allows direct export into MIDI (note numbers + durations) or drum maps.
-
Creates a bridge between educational solfรจge and technical sequencing.
Conclusion
DV Notation supports three coexisting systems:
-
Solfรจge (D
o1Q
) – best for singers and learners. -
Degrees (
1Q
) – best for theory and transposition. -
Notes (
C4Q
) – best for absolute pitch reference. -
Percussion (
KQ
,HcE
) – best for rhythm and grooves.
By supporting melody, harmony, and rhythm in parallel notations, DV becomes not only a music script but a universal code for sound.

๐ผ Fingering in DV Language
By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (Messiah King RKY) with the assistance of AI
Introduction
Musical performance is not only about which notes are played, but also which fingers are used. Correct fingering ensures efficiency, speed, and expression. Traditional notation systems often show fingering with small numbers above or below notes, or with letters for plucking. DV Language brings this into its textual box system, making fingering transparent and easy to learn.
1. General DV Format
DV Language combines finger → note → duration into a single unit:
FingerNoteDuration
- Finger = number or letter depending on the instrument
- Note = Do, Re, Mi… (with octave if needed: Do1, Mi2)
- Duration = Q (quarter), H (half), W (whole), E (eighth), S (sixteenth), etc.
2. Piano Fingering in DV
On piano, each hand has five numbered fingers:
- 1 = Thumb
- 2 = Index
- 3 = Middle
- 4 = Ring
- 5 = Pinky
Examples:
1Do1Q
→ Thumb plays Do1 as a quarter note5Mi2H
→ Pinky plays Mi2 as a half note2Sol1E
→ Index plays Sol1 as an eighth note
DV Piano Fingering is compact and clear: the finger number always comes first.
- FingerNoteDuration (practical, for students/playing)
- Finger(Degree)Duration (analytical, with degrees + octaves written
n.octave
)
3. Guitar Fingering in DV
Guitar requires two hands:
- Left hand (fret hand) → numbered fingers
- 1 = Index
- 2 = Middle
- 3 = Ring
- 4 = Pinky
- Right hand (plucking hand) → letters
- p = Thumb
- i = Index
- m = Middle
- a = Ring
Examples:
3Do1Q
→ Left hand finger 3 frets Do1 quarter (plucking assumed)iDo1Q
→ Right hand index plucks Do1 quarter (fret assumed)3iDo1Q
→ Left hand finger 3 frets Do1, right hand index plucks, quarter note
This allows precise dual-hand notation.
4. Comparison Examples
Instrument DV Fingering Meaning Piano 2Mi1Q
Finger 2 (index) plays Mi1 quarter Piano 5Sol2H
Finger 5 (pinky) plays Sol2 half Guitar 1Do2E
Left hand index frets Do2 eighth (plucking assumed) Guitar iDo2E
Right hand index plucks Do2 eighth (fret assumed) Guitar 3iDo1Q
Left hand ring finger frets Do1, right hand index plucks, quarter note
5. Advantages in DV
- Unified: Works across piano, guitar, and other instruments
- Readable: Finger, note, and duration in one clear box
- Extendable: Can expand to violin bowings, drumstick hands, etc.
- Educational: Students instantly see not just “what to play,” but “how to play”
Conclusion
By integrating fingering directly into notation, DV Language takes another step toward becoming a complete universal musical code. Whether a pianist learning scales or a guitarist mastering arpeggios, DV fingering notation provides clarity and efficiency.
๐ป Violin / Bowed Strings Notation
In DV Language we’ll place the bow symbol immediately after the finger number (or 0 for open string), before the note name.
That way it always reads:
Finger + Bow + Note + Duration
- Fingers: 0,1,2,3,4
- Bow:
<
= up-bow,>
= down-bow
✅ Examples
1>Do2Q
→ finger 1, down-bow, Do2, quarter note3<Re2E
→ finger 3, up-bow, Re2, eighth note0>La1H
→ open string, down-bow, La1, half note4<Mi2Q
→ finger 4, up-bow, Mi2, quarter note
This keeps the bow direction tightly bound to the left-hand fingering, so it’s always clear how the note is produced.
