How to write invention by nesting intervals.

Guten Morgen, welcome to my corner!

In Laffik's school we look for the rule. Here is invention made by nesting intervals. Intervals are played by series of intervals. So it goes: 5th played by 2nds, 4th by 3rds, minor 7th by 4ths, 2nd by 5th and 4th and as a point 1st by 2nds.

These are consecutive values of tension. It gives nice feel of continuum in a motif.

All harmonized in F harmonic minor.

In chorus I play chords used before, with solo note, that plays voices of chords, in order of it's tension: prime, 5th, 3rd and 5th.

Here it goes:

Tension groups of intervals:
1. Platinum - primes (1st) and octaves (8th) - 0semitones and 12semitones
2. Gold - fiths (5th) - 7semitones
3. Silver - quarters (4th) - 5semitones
4. Bronze - minor and major thirds (3rd), minor and major sixths (6th), minor sevenths (7th) - 3semitones, 4semitones, 8semitones, 9semitones and 10semitones
5. Copper - minor and major seconds (2nd) - 1semitones and 2semitones
6. Banned - tritones and sevenths (7th) - 6semitones and 11semitones

Tension grades of chord voices:
1. Platinum - prime - 0semitones
2. Gold - fifth - 7semitones
