We simplify it by saying this: that there are three fundamental textures: monophonic texture, homophonic texture, and polyphonic texture.

简而言之,有三种基本织体,单音织体,主音织体和复音织体

But the idea that they're all kind of independent, points out once again that they are playing polyphonic texture.

但它们基本上相互独立这一点,再一次证明,这是一个复音织体

If you put in other little strands of melody, it changes it more toward polyphonic texture.

如果将之放到其他的小旋律中，将会改变对位材质。

So listen to a good example of non-imitative texture, polyphonic texture.

好好听这个,非模仿式织体,复音织体

Here's a group of sounds, different pitches and actually three different pitches in there, as opposed to just one pitch--one pitch, three pitches or three or four pitches, moving in different ways, kind of independent rhythmic chords, so that's the difference between monophonic, homophonic and polyphonic texture.

这是一组音,不同的音高,事实上三个不同的音高,相对于一个音高,一个音高,三个音高或四个音高,以不同方式运动,像有独立节奏的和弦,这就是单音,主音和复音织体的区别
