Thank you! Your approach and visuals make all of this so much more digestible. Staring at the score in the book and trying to extract these ideas is nearly impossible for me. Well done!
I like the bass bone doubling the bassoons and cello/bass at the end there- looks like it's not written in the score which is interesting. Great video as always!
Really excellent illustrations! 11:22 - “picc. (D)” does that suggest a piccolo in the key of D? I can’t recall having heard of such an instrument… I’m well aware of piccolos keyed in Db.
Piccolo clarinet. Notice that the bracket is centrally named "Cl" for clarinet, The piccolo flute is on the top staff. I make the distinction in the lecture.
It helps a bit, but the fastest way to really nail it down is through sight-singing, internal memorisation of longer and longer concert works, and score-reading new works.
@@willbrooksy478 No. Just pick up a score, and start reading along to a recording - solo, chamber, and orchestral. Eventually as your inner ear improves, you won't need the recording anymore - but it will take years of training. Enjoy the wonder of those years, I say. Every new score is a treasure trove.
@@OrchestrationOnline lovely information, is it too late start learning this at age 21, I discovered I have a talent for music in my late teens and almost got accepted into a major conservatory but my sheet music skills weren’t the best
@@willbrooksy478 It's never too late for anything. Composers have the longest gestation period of any artist - I remember being called a "young composer" and "the baby of the local composer's scene" when I was in my late 30s. You've discovered your passion, forget about the doubts and go for it.
There will be ample examinations of Scheherazade with other excerpts for now as part of the book. If it leads to a deeper full-scale analysis you'll be the first to know.
Yeah. R-K really is strict about that system and it is still taught as a Bible in Moscow conservatoire. I kinda enjoyed being nearly beaten when making a step outside what scripture permits and now i can arrange chords without thinking if something not creative is needed. But I have to say it is important to note that XX century composers (mostly Americans btw, ha ha ha) showed us that nearly everything is possible and most of it sounds interesting if not fine.

Sounds like it could be tuba too
Such a soothing voice.

incredible
4:43 Ooops. Found a misprint in the score - second bassoon a sharp is missing
Fabulous. -Douglas Hein

Hey new to your channel and love it so far.
I have a question regarding the development of your inner ear: will sight reading at the piano help this?
It helps a bit, but the fastest way to really nail it down is through sight-singing, internal memorisation of longer and longer concert works, and score-reading new works.
@@OrchestrationOnline in order to begin score reading does one have to have a pre requisite knowledge of how each instrument sounds

Is scheherazade a piece worth doing a lecture series on?
