The com­po­si­tional pa­rame­ters are: the motif, the se­quence, and the har­mony. The rules by which these pa­rame­ters move find their ex­pres­sion in the motif-tech­nique, in the se­quence-tech­nique, and in the har­mony-tech­nique.

The range of ap­pli­ca­tion of these mu­si­cal ele­ments and the natu­ral in­ner for­ma­tive means re­lated to them are: the ap­plied motif-tech­nique, the ap­plied se­quence-tech­nique and the ap­plied har­mony-tech­nique.

The sound-space, as the physi­ol­ogy of the com­po­si­tion, sur­rounds the com­po­si­tional pa­rame­ters and their func­tion like a hull.
