I don't think to start ~~with a~~ generalized ~~view~~. I'm especially confused by the [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Octave_reduction&type=revision&diff=74592&oldid=74275 change done by Fredg999]. @Fredg999, as a teacher, you should know that ~~by starting~~ this way, you~~'ll~~ losing half ~~of your~~ students. Would you please be so kind as to change the order to (1) octave reduction (2) generalization? Thanks. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 11:02, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

I don't think that it's a good idea to start from the ''generalized perspective''. I'm especially confused by the fact that [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Octave_reduction&type=revision&diff=74592&oldid=74275 the change] was done by Fredg999. @Fredg999, as a teacher, you should know that if you introduce a topic in this way, you risk losing the attention of half the students already at the beginning. Would you please be so kind as to change the order to (1) octave reduction (2) generalization? Thanks. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 11:29, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

:: Thank you both for the advice. I took a chance to organize it this way to see how it would go, but I agree now that moving the generalization later on makes more sense. I also planned to mention balanced reduction, so that would be another kind of generalization as well. I'll be working on this today. Thanks again!

::: This is great news! I also don't have anything against reorganizing stuff. As long as we provide an easy way to approach concepts. In this special case, octave reduction will be quite understandable, because of the very broad acceptance of the ''octave equivalence'' concept (in western music). Good luck for further reorganization! --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 13:10, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

:::: I reorganized the page as discussed and added the other elements that I had in mind. If there is anything else to mention, please let me know. [[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 17:09, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
