    Hi Jeremy - the RUclips algorithm only recently recommended your channel to me, which is bananas, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your content and your style of delivery. I don't recall if you mentioned it here - I think you have done in another of your videos - but it seems to me noteworthy how many of these leaps take place on the off-beat.

    • @JeremySiskind
      @JeremySiskind  2 года назад +3

      Ooooh, this is the most subtle use of bananas yet! Yes - you’re absolutely right to point out the offbeats. Thank you!

    • @JeremySiskind
      @JeremySiskind  2 года назад +1

      I've studied a lot of counterpoint. Never studied Schenkerian analysis, although I think I have an idea what the basic principles are. Those things are backbones of music. I'm not intentionally thinking about them, but they're everywhere. :)

  • @CharlesAustin
    @CharlesAustin 2 года назад +3

    An important video. The counterpoint rule: Leaps resolving etc. makes me think of Thelonious Monk’s ‘Epistrophy’ where the upward leaps in the motif resolve upward by a half step. Great references Re Oscar Peterson (very informative). Thanks again. I’m finding your two bar ‘mapping’? Single chords every two bars, very calming !! (Sorry to not name that properly). Love the ‘compound’ melody description.
