Retrograde was not mentioned in theoretical treatises prior to 1500.

A color of 28 pitches is arranged with a talea of four durations which repeats seven times (28 ÷ 4 = 7). Isorhythm (from the Greek for "the same rhythm") is a musical technique using a repeating rhythmic pattern, called a talea , in at least one voice part throughout a composition.
Each phrase is therefore a palindrome, though only the first pair of rows in the beginning of the movement is perfectly palindromic.

Each downward reaching interval is replicated exactly in the opposite direction. [17]

Alternatively, transpositional combinatoriality is the lack of shared pitch classes between a hexachord and one or more of its transpositions. For example, 0 2 4 6 8 t, and its transposition up one semitone (+1): 1 3 5 7 9 e, have no notes in common.
