Take the notes 4 at a time and stack them (see below). The result displays a symmetry.
The 1st and 4th notes of each line are identical. The 2nd note is always a few semitones lower than the 3rd note. The number of semitones between them is shown at the end of each line.

The second block of 16 notes is identical to the first block of 16. The notes of the third block of 16 are (with one exception) precisely one note higher than those of the other blocks.

This does nothing, of course, to find the composer of this little tune. Maybe it is only a practice piece to exercise one's finger(s) and/or thumb!

You must login to post a message to this conference.

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
