Thank you for sharing this information. I am assuming that by "introduction" you mean "introduction for university or graduate level professional Music students.
Very educative!!
Happy you found it useful
blue comic sans
Yes
In that responsary we use the so-called "fa super la" everytime we come across b flat note next to a la note to avoid mutate for the sake of just one note.
Good video!
Thank you
The first movement is "Grave" from Telemann keyboard fantasia No. 9 (TWV 33:9) The second movement is "Gayment" from Telemann keyboard fantasia No. 10, second "Douzaine" (TWV 33:22)
Thank you
Thanks for the advice!!! So, Malmsteen creates a melodic pattern and repeats in diferent notes to create tension a interest ? I have always thinked that Malmsteen is a very capable composer, with a lot of resources and techniques, thanks for your analisis.
👍
His book on The Jazz Standard is good.
🥰Always liked this solo since I listened the song qhen I was a teenager, I played and I thinked that all the ideas were of Heavy Metal origins, you show me other perspective, many thanks, I will tryto incorporate these ideas to my playing, I want to see all of your videos, many thanks.
You're welcome, happy you found it useful
00:30 atonality/12-tone is not a jazz theory though. it is a classical composer theory. berg is not jazz either. modes of limited transposition is not jazz theory either. yet there is no figured bass I bet, or probably even counterpoint. so basically...it sounds like this book is simply another textbook from the American education system's corrupt perspective on how to learn music. by the title 'jazz theory' they must actually mean 'post-1880 music' and just are using the term 'jazz' to sell more copies. explain why the best textbook is not still CPE Bach's textbook, 'the art of keyboard playing', especially considering it is zero or near zero cost to get a copy and actually contains the fundamentals of music.
Thanks for posting this. I am a composer and from time to time just need to refresh myself on these matters and find such videos quite helpful for both me and my students.
Happy you found it helpful, David. Thanks for watching
I’m in over my head here, but it works for my ears!! Fascinating seeing the theoretical side of things.
Often times, the largest treasure one can find, is in videos that seems nobody find before. This was so helpful, this is what they should teach. Thank you sooo much, i would like to contact you but cant find any info. Would love to chat about counterpoint from time to time, to solve some mystery,. thx!
Thanks for the comment, I'm happy the video was helpful. My email is on the channel page
That is a Great book, everyone that wants to know music, not just Jazz, but music in general, should get there hands one this one!! Thank you for show us this book, he also has three more, do a video one them, thanks again.😎👍
ok, ok...
Incredible ! Thank you for this video!!
You're welcome
The best piece of music ever written, hands down. And if you haven't seen the Eroica movie please look it up: it's a wonderful fictional rendition of Beethoven's first rehearsal of the entire symphony.
enoyed this video. thank you for posting, and thanks for the book recommendation 'Serialism' by Arnold Whittall ___ seems like a good entry point for understanding. been looking for something like this. 🙏🏻
You're welcome Ken. Thanks for watching
Thanks. If I listen to this, it sounds to me like C Ionion with C as the tonic, although it ends on a G chord (V chord, and G Moxolydian has the same notes as C Ionian. I don't understand this at all, sorry.
Thanks for this.
You're welcome

I don't get the A melody on the Abmaj7#11 in the next last measure of B. No matter how you voice it it sounds wrong. I think it's a different chord in the melody. Maybe A13b9?
do you have the music sheet of the solo GREAT ANALYSIS!!!
Does it cover music theory in its lessons? Since it's an important skill for analyzing a piece, I see it as a norm.
Thanks. It's rare to find this depth of harmonic analysis in RUclips, I really needed it
Happy you found it useful
Thanks for helping me😁 with my work.

You're welcome
Please give some audi examples. I love this topic but I dont quite understand it... How do I start?
Very good video
Thank you
Yes, as with many of your other videos, I did find it useful. Thank you very much.
Thank you harmonicamick908
This is so concisely and brilliantly laid out, cheers!
You're welcome
I'll echo another commenter. I think you really need to include audio to accompany your explanations. This is good information, but, and I mean this with all due kindness, substandard pedagogy because we as musicians benefit greatly from hearing immediate audio feedback of the concepts you're discussing.
I had already replied to the other commenter so I'll just cut and paste that comment here. But thank you for your constructive feedback, it's appreciated. I didn't include audio of Terefenko's examples as I didn't want to infringe on any copyright and for my own examples I only included the scale models without audio to encourage people to work with the ideas themselves. Partimento-style exercises are supposed to be about experimentation. But I agree, perhaps I could've/should've included at least one audio clip. Thanks for the commen
These are some intriguing topics for discussion. However, the presentation could be enhanced by some audio examples. Otherwise it’s like talking about a painting without actually showing it. Keep up the good work, i’ve found your book reviews very helpful, esp the mention of Bert Ligon’s book

I think of a Weaver of Dreams as a Romanesca. Anyway, I've been thinking about doing a book like this since I found at about ROTOs... I guess now I don't need to haha
Always space for other people's approaches, maybe you can add to the concept
@@decipheringguitarmusictheory perhaps! Need to check out the book…
I have a question; wouldn't the vii°⁴² actually be +VI°⁴² ?
Are you referring to the F sharp dim 7th immediately after the tonic Am chord? Because these are all common-note dim 7th chords, decorations of the bass note, I labelled them as viio4/2 instead of relating them to the overall key of A minor. Thanks for your comment
@@decipheringguitarmusictheory Yes i am. I'm just trying to learn theory one step at a time. It's proving difficult for me to analyse because on the score it looks like that's the pivot chord, but the only progression i can make sense of it with is the augmented 6th °7 to V. Thanks for the analysis!
Thank you
Hi, I don’t quite understand the last part about missing thirds. Could you please explain why the chord after a minor “i” is not iv b?
Hi siweifang2845, the chord is iv b. My point is that it isn't VI (F major) which is often used, as in the earlier examples. Thanks for the comment
@@decipheringguitarmusictheory That clarified my confusion. Thank you!
0:58 the 7th in a 7th chord is a harmonic note
why don't you play this?
Thanks, I found it useful since you gave some key points about the book that help me in my choice. If it's already for someone with a good understanding of music theory, it's not a book for me. Actually I understand theory OK, but I don't have a trained ear. I found that learning the Rule of the Octave and learning thoroughbass are helping overcome that handicap, but I probably have Aural Aphantasia. Most musicians I talk with tell me I'll probably never be a musician, but that doesn't bother me. i just want to be able to sit and play at the piano. I quit watching all the videos of learning 100s of songs in an hour to sound AWESOME! I'm not awesome, so that's a waste of time for me. That's a reason that I don't watch a certain You Tuber with millions of viewers for his music theory lessons. If you don't understand every diminished half tone pirouette modal scale, you can't follow his lessons. So I don't anymore. I'll see what you have to say about music since it sounds like you talk basic sense.
Can you suggest a book that would help me pass the MEGA music exam vocal and intrumental k-12? I am a teacher with a background in, music, but it was not my major in college- just a hobby. I studied the practice book and ordered an online practice test and passed it, but then when I took thr real test it was all about band, jazz, and listening for different modes as well as knowing who wrote what music according to the sheet music. I didnt pass becasue i was a string, piano and recorder player who played in orchestras and quartets. I don't knkw anythjng about band and jazz. Now I don't have any materials to study. I teach k-5th grade.
Hi Andrea, I made a video suggesting some books about jazz theory (modes etc) it's in the playlist for books worth reading. For history of jazz, 'The History of Western Music' by Grout, Palisca has an overview but there are other specialised books such as 'The History of Jazz' by Ted Gioia. A lot of books also give lists of works for listening which is something I'd recommend if you don't already do so. I'm not familiar with the MEGA exam but you mentioned you have already looked at their study material, is there some relevant to Jazz? Hope it goes well!
@@decipheringguitarmusictheory I appreciate your help and recommendations! Thank you.
I keep coming back to this since you have some important information. It's slowly all starting to sink in. My poor technique is hindering me, but I was never a musician. But this is fascinating.
Glad you're enjoying the journey. It is a fascinating area of music
Thank you!
You're welcome
I came across this mass in The Sixteen's recent 9th volume of Palestrina's music, and was quickly captured by it. I've been looking all over for an explanation of the Hexachord theme, and was thrilled to find your video. Great work, very easy to understand, thanks so much for putting it together. I'm already looking forward to seeing what else you've covered in your videos!
Thanks Karolus, happy you found it useful
Thanks. I'd kind of heard about what you're discussing, but hadn't been walked through it before. I appreciate your careful and comprehensible presentation.
Thanks Timothy, glad it was helpful
Merci. I've just started using RO this week. It's opening up a whole new world.
Great! It's a shame it isn't as well known as it could/should be
Hey! Thank you! By any chance do you know any book on romantic harmony?
Hi @mymm, many harmony books cover 'Romantic' harmony. Especially in the later chapters of the book by Aldwell and Schachter (Harmony and Voice-Leading) for example, many aspects of harmony from that era are discussed.
