. TYPE 6: CREATING OR IMPROVISING UNFAMILIAR MUSIC WHILE PERFORMING OR IN SILENCE—A sixth type of audiation takes place when creating or improvising unfa- miliar music using both familiar and unfamiliar patterns in silence or during actual performance. Each pattern in music we are creating or improvising in audiation guides us in sequentially organizing in audiation additional music patterns. And, once again, when audiating essential pitches and durations and essential tonal and rhythm patterns as we are creating (composing using our own invented patterns) or improvising (using previously agreed upon patterns as in jazz improvisation), we are automatically placing inessential pitches and durations into complete patterns. The process continues throughout music.
