inversion

Enlarge picture
A root position triad on C with first and second inversions.

In music, the mirror image of a melody used in counterpoint; alternatively a chord in which the natural order of notes is rearranged.

In classical counterpoint, melodic inversion usually includes a degree of flexibility to avoid dissonance or unwanted harmonic implications; in strict twelve-tone music the inversion is exact.
