Ok,

The first two combination of motifs are good. But you third combo varies a little. Remember you were to keep the melodic shape. In your 3rd example you did a slight variation by altering the the shape of "motif 1". Its not wrong, but for now try not to do so as we will work on that further on.

For this stage of the exercise you kept each motif complete and followed it by another motif in different ways. What I want you to do this time is to find a way that you can disect the motifs and kind of past various parts of different motifs together. Therefore, when
motif 1 and motif 2 appear together they should not look like two separate motifs as one following the other. But, instead it should look like a hybrid of both motifs almost creating a new motivic idea.


Come up with a good number of 4 measure examples of motif hybrids that you can.


Does this make sense?
