The mathematical operations of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;multiplication&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; have several applications to [[music]]. Other than its application to the frequency ratios of [[Interval (music)|intervals]] (for example, [[Just intonation]], and the [[twelfth root of two]] in [[equal temperament]]), it has been used in other ways for [[twelve-tone technique]], and [[set theory (music)|musical set theory]]. Additionally [[ring modulation]] is an electrical audio process involving multiplication that has been used for musical effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A multiplicative operation is a [[Map (mathematics)|mapping]] in which the [[Argument of a function|argument]] is multiplied.{{sfn|Rahn|1980|loc=53}} Multiplication originated intuitively in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;interval expansion&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, including [[tone row]] order number [[Rotation (mathematics)|rotation]], for example in the music of [[Béla Bartók]] and [[Alban Berg]].{{sfn|Schuijer|2008|loc=77–78}} Pitch number rotation, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Fünferreihe&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or &amp;quot;five-series&amp;quot; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Siebenerreihe&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or &amp;quot;seven-series&amp;quot;, was first described by [[Ernst Krenek]] in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Über neue Musik&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.{{sfn|Krenek|1937}}{{sfn|Schuijer|2008|loc=77–78}} Princeton-based theorists, including [[James K. Randall]],{{sfn|Randall|1962}} [[Godfrey Winham]],{{sfn|Winham|1970}} and Hubert S. Howe{{sfn|Howe|1965}} &amp;quot;were the first to discuss and adopt them, not only with regards {{sic}} to twelve-tone series&amp;quot;.{{sfn|Schuijer|2008|loc=81}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pitch-class multiplication modulo 12 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When dealing with [[pitch class|pitch-class]] sets, multiplication [[modular arithmetic|modulo]] 12 is a common operation. Dealing with all [[twelve tone technique|twelve tones]], or a [[tone row]], there are only a few numbers which one may multiply a row by and still end up with a set of twelve distinct tones. Taking the prime or unaltered form as P&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, multiplication is indicated by &amp;#039;&amp;#039;M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;x&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;x&amp;#039;&amp;#039; being the multiplicator:&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;x&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;y&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) ≡ &amp;#039;&amp;#039;xy&amp;#039;&amp;#039; mod 12&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Note that only M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, and M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;11&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; give a [[Bijection|one-to-one]] mapping (a complete set of 12 unique tones). This is because each of these numbers is [[relatively prime]] to 12. Also interesting is that the [[chromatic]] scale is mapped to the [[circle of fourths]] with M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, or fifths with M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, and more generally under M&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; all even numbers stay the same while odd numbers are transposed by a [[tritone]]. This kind of multiplication is frequently combined with a [[Transposition (music)|transposition]] operation. It was first described in print by [[Herbert Eimert]], under the terms &amp;quot;Quartverwandlung&amp;quot; (fourth transformation) and &amp;quot;Quintverwandlung&amp;quot; (fifth transformation),{{sfn|Eimert|1950|loc=29–33}} and has been used by the composers [[Milton Babbitt]],{{sfn|Morris|1997|loc=238 &amp;amp; 242–43}}{{sfn|Winham|1970|loc=65–66}} [[Robert Morris (composer)|Robert Morris]],{{sfn|Morris|1997|loc=238–239, 243}} and [[Charles Wuorinen]].{{sfn|Hibbard|1969|loc=157–158}} This operation also accounts for certain harmonic transformations in jazz.{{sfn|Morris|1982|loc=153–154}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus multiplication by the two meaningful operations (5 &amp;amp; 7) may be designated with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;M&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;M&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;M&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;IM&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.{{sfn|Schuijer|2008|loc=77–78}}&lt;br /&gt;

== Pitch multiplication ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Pierre Boulez]]{{sfn|Boulez|1971|loc=39-40, 79-80}}{{Dubious|date=July 2021|reason=On pp. 79–80 Boulez speaks of &amp;quot;isomorphic families&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;a double network of privileged series&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;dividing&amp;quot; a series and &amp;quot;the whole is multiplied by each of its parts in turn&amp;quot;, thereby creating &amp;quot;multiple isomorphic relationships&amp;quot;, objects &amp;quot;multiplied by themselves&amp;quot;, etc., but where is this expression &amp;quot;pitch multiplication&amp;quot;?}} described an operation he called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;pitch multiplication&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which is somewhat akin {{Clarify|date=March 2013}} to the [[Cartesian product]] of pitch-class sets. Given two sets, the result of pitch multiplication will be the set of sums ([[modular arithmetic|modulo]] 12) of all possible pairings of elements between the original two sets. Its definition:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;X \times Y = \{ (x+y)\bmod 12 | x\in X, y\in Y\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, if multiplying a C-major chord &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{ 0,4,7 \}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with a dyad containing &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;C&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;,&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;D&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{ 0,2 \}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the result is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{ 0,4,7 \} \times \{ 0,2 \} = \{ 0,2,4,6,7,9 \}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this example, a set of three pitches multiplied with a set of two pitches gives a new set of 3 &amp;amp;times; 2 pitches. Given the limited space of modulo 12 arithmetic, when using this procedure very often duplicate tones are produced, which are generally omitted. This technique was used most famously in Boulez&amp;#039;s 1955 &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Le Marteau sans maître]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, as well as in his [[Piano sonatas (Boulez)|Third Piano Sonata]], &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Structures (Boulez)|Structures II]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;quot;Don&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Tombeau&amp;quot; from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Pli selon pli]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Éclat]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Éclat/Multiples]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Figures—Doubles—Prismes]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Domaines (Boulez)|Domaines]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Cummings ist der Dichter]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, as well as the withdrawn choral work, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Oubli signal lapidé&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1952).{{sfn|Koblyakov|1990|loc=32}}{{sfn|Heinemann|1993}}{{sfn|Heinemann|1998}} This operation, like arithmetic multiplication and transpositional combination of set classes, is [[commutative]].{{sfn|Heinemann|1993|loc=24}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Howard Hanson]] called this operation of [[commutative]] mathematical [[convolution]] &amp;quot;superposition&amp;quot;{{sfn|Hanson|1960|loc=44, 167}} or &amp;quot;@-projection&amp;quot; and used the &amp;quot;/&amp;quot; notation interchangeably. Thus &amp;quot;p@m&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;p/m&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;perfect fifth at major third&amp;quot;, e.g.: { C E G B }. He specifically noted that two triad forms could be so multiplied, or a triad multiplied by itself, to produce a resultant scale. The latter &amp;quot;squaring&amp;quot; of a triad produces a particular scale highly saturated in instances of the source triad.{{sfn|Hanson|1960|loc=167}} Thus &amp;quot;pmn&amp;quot;, Hanson&amp;#039;s name for common the major triad, when squared, is &amp;quot;PMN&amp;quot;, e.g.: { C D E G G{{music|sharp}} B }.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nicolas Slonimsky]] used this operation, non-generalized, to form 1300 scales by multiplying the [[Symmetry|symmetric]] [[tritone]]s, [[augmented chord]]s, [[diminished seventh chord]]s, and [[wholetone scale]]s by the sum of 3 factors which he called interpolation, infrapolation, and ultrapolation.{{sfn|Slonimsky|1947|loc=v}} The combination of interpolation, infrapolation, and ultrapolation, forming obliquely infra-interpolation, infra-ultrapolation, and infra-inter-ultrapolation, [[Addition|additively]] sums to what is effectively a second sonority. This second sonority, multiplied by the first, gives his formula for generating scales and their [[harmonization]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Joseph Schillinger]] used the idea, undeveloped, to categorize common 19th- and early 20th-century harmonic styles as product of horizontal harmonic root-motion and vertical harmonic structure.{{sfn|Schillinger|1941|loc=147}} Some of the composers&amp;#039; styles which he cites appear in the following multiplication table.&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Approximation theory|approximation]] of the 12 pitches of Western music by [[Modular arithmetic|modulus-12 math]], forming the [[Necklace (combinatorics)|Circle of Halfsteps]], means that musical intervals can also be thought of as [[angle]]s in a [[polar coordinate system]], stacking of identical intervals as functions of [[Simple harmonic motion|harmonic motion]], and [[transposition (music)|transposition]] as [[Axis–angle representation|rotation around an axis]]. Thus, in the multiplication example above from Hanson, &amp;quot;p@m&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;p/m&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;perfect 5th at major 3rd&amp;quot;, e.g.: { C E G B }) also means &amp;quot;perfect fifth, superimposed upon perfect fifth rotated 1/3 of the circumference of the Circle of Halfsteps&amp;quot;.

This angular interpretation of intervals is helpful to visualize a very practical example of multiplication in music: [[Euler–Fokker genus|Euler-Fokker genera]] used in describing the [[Just intonation]] [[Musical tuning|tuning]] of keyboard instruments.{{sfn|Fokker|1987}} Each genus represents an harmonic function such as &amp;quot;3 perfect fifths stacked&amp;quot; or other sonority such as { C G D F{{music|sharp}} }, which, when multiplied by the correct angle(s) of copy, approximately [[Tessellation|fills]] the [[12TET]] [[Circumference|circumferential]] space of the [[Circle of fifths]]. It would be possible, though not musically pretty, to tune an [[Augmented chord|augmented triad]] of two perfect non-beating [[major third]]s, then (multiplying) tune two tempered [[Perfect fifth|fifths]] above and 1 below each note of the augmented chord; this is Euler-Fokker genus [555]. A different result is obtained by starting with the &amp;quot;3 perfect fifths stacked&amp;quot;, and from these non-beating notes tuning a tempered [[major third]] above and below; this is Euler-Fokker genus [333].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Time multiplication==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Joseph Schillinger]] described an operation of &amp;quot;[[Polynomial multiplication|polynomial time multiplication]]&amp;quot; (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;polynomial&amp;#039;&amp;#039; refers to any rhythm consisting of more than one duration) corresponding roughly to that of [[#Pitch multiplication|Pitch multiplication]] above.{{sfn|Schillinger|1941|loc=70–? {{Page needed|date=September 2014|reason=&amp;#039;70ff&amp;#039; is not adequate, since it might mean 70–72, 70–9361, or any terminal number larger than 71.}}}} A theme, reduced to a consistent series of integers representing the quarter, 8th-, or 16th-note duration of each of the notes of the theme, could be [[Polynomial multiplication|multiplied]] by itself or the series of another theme to produce a coherent and related variation. Especially, a theme&amp;#039;s series could be squared or cubed or taken to higher powers to produce a saturation of related material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Affine transformation==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Affine transformation}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Multiplication as mirror operation.png|thumb|upright=1.4|[[Chromatic scale]] into circle of fourths and/or fifths through multiplication as mirror operation,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvnb|Eimert|1950|loc={{Page needed|date=September 2014}}}} as reproduced with minor alterations in {{harvnb|Schuijer|2008|loc=80}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[File:Multiplication as mirror operation.mid]] or chromatic scale, [[File:Chromatic scale ascending on C.mid]] circle of fourths, [[File:Circle of fifths desc within octave.mid]] or circle of fifths. [[File:Circle of fifths ascending within octave.mid]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Herbert Eimert]] described what he called the &amp;quot;eight modes&amp;quot; of the twelve-tone series, all mirror forms of one another. The [[Melodic inversion|inverse]] is obtained through a horizontal mirror, the [[retrograde (music)|retrograde]] through a vertical mirror, the [[retrograde inversion|retrograde-inverse]] through both a horizontal and a vertical mirror, and the &amp;quot;cycle-of-fourths-transform&amp;quot; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Quartverwandlung&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;quot;cycle-of-fifths-transform&amp;quot; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Quintverwandlung&amp;#039;&amp;#039; obtained through a slanting mirror.{{sfn|Eimert|1950|loc=28–29}} With the retrogrades of these transforms and the prime, there are eight [[permutation (music)|permutations]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{blockquote|Furthermore, one can sort of move the mirror at an angle, that is the &amp;#039;angle&amp;#039; of a fourth or fifth, so that the chromatic row is reflected in both cycles. ... In this way, one obtains the cycle-of-fourths transform and the cycle-of-fifths transform of the row.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvnb|Eimert|1950|loc=29}}, translated in {{harvnb|Schuijer|2008|loc=81}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Joseph Schillinger]] embraced not only contrapuntal [[Melodic inversion|inverse]], [[retrograde (music)|retrograde]], and [[retrograde inversion|retrograde-inverse]]—operations of [[matrix multiplication]] in [[Euclidean space|Euclidean vector space]]—but also their rhythmic counterparts as well. Thus he could describe a variation of theme using the same pitches in same order, but employing its original time values in [[Retrograde motion|retrograde]] order. He saw the scope of this [[Map (mathematics)|multiplicatory universe]] beyond simple [[Reflection (mathematics)|reflection]], to include [[Translation (geometry)|transposition]] and [[Rotation (mathematics)|rotation]] (possibly with [[Projection (linear algebra)|projection]] back to source), as well as [[Dilation (affine geometry)|dilation]] which had formerly been limited in use to the time dimension (via [[Augmentation (music)#Augmentation in composition|augmentation]] and [[Diminution#Diminution in composition|diminution]]).{{sfn|Schillinger|1941|loc=187ff {{Page needed|date=February 2014|reason=Use of &amp;#039;ff&amp;#039; is discouraged because it is vague; please supply exact terminal page number instead.}}}} Thus he could describe another variation of theme, or even of a basic scale, by multiplying the halfstep counts between each successive pair of notes by some factor, possibly [[Normalized vector|normalizing]] to the octave via [[Modulo operation|Modulo]]-12 operation.{{sfn|Schillinger|1941|loc=115ff, 208ff {{Page needed|date=February 2014|reason=Use of &amp;#039;ff&amp;#039; is discouraged because it is vague; please supply exact terminal page number instead.}}}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Z-relation==&lt;br /&gt;
Some [[Interval vector|Z-related]] chords are connected by &amp;#039;&amp;#039;M&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;IM&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (multiplication by 5 or multiplication by 7), due to identical entries for 1 and 5 on the [[interval vector|APIC vector]].{{sfn|Schuijer|2008|loc=98n18}}&lt;br /&gt;
