If the melody is to remain in C major, it will be played
16 19 23 26 19 23 26 29 = E G B D G B D F
Alternatively, the new key may be set to A minor – one of several possibilities. In this case the melody will appear as:
16 20 23 26 20 23 26 30 = E G# B D G# B D F#
accompanied by chords of A minor.
The product is order dependent; for the same two motives:
7 11 14 17 x 9 12 = 16 19 20 23 23 26 26 29
7 becomes 7+9 7+12, 11 becomes 11+9 11+12, etc.

Notice the syncopated rhythm in the second product. Maybe should be smoothed to:
