Abstract
Our project on the rhythmic and melodic figuration critical review, produced a new Methodology on the detailed analysis of the modal or tonal melodic foot or motive, based upon the following hypothesis, successfully tested during the process of research, on musical excerpts collected in an Anthology of analyzed examples. The attention was focused on the motive or musical word, whose structure is assembled around a nucleus tone, root or lexeme, and contains this last principal morpheme and other prior or following satellite tones, ordered in several possible layers according to these successive steps: nuclear tone, first order figuration, second order figuration and so on until the original melody is completely assembled.
