You provide such a treasure trove of high level concepts in these15 minutes here and in your online courses. I have become a much better composer as a result. Thx a million. I highly encourage everyone to buy a course from you.
Have you ever thought about selling an exercise bundle. Kind of like school would assign homework, but you assign "assignments" for all your videos? Just a simple PDF. Things from basic assignments all the way to your more advanced topics you've discussed? That would be awesome and very useful for us to practice, it makes it much easier to be told what I should practice like an assignment from someone else.
This time period it is tough for favorites for me. I like the more experimental school of composers like RK, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Chopin, etc. The guys who pushed the functional harmony system to its limits.
Hi Robert, This is a very interesting tutorial. I've always wondered what was going on the hood with these type of Tchaikovsky type buildups. I came across an interesting chapter in the book, "Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento. A new method inspired by the old masters" by Job IJzerman, has an explanation of something that sounds very similar in his book, where he analyses a build up in the Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony. This is the first time I've come across someone orchestrating using this chromatic concept that you are using here. Sounds very impressive 🙂
It is not in any way meant to diminish recent musicians. If it came out that way I apologize. It was not meant to. This is mostly educational and in many ways, when someone, this included myself, does not look at the past, they tend to think all things in modern times are new and never done. Looking at past masters can humble even the greatest musician if they have never deep dove into historic past music.
Goshhh you are still on fire man! Thank you for sharing your enormous arsenal of harmony. Ain’t nobody sharing the stuff you do
Thanks. I hope this helps.

Thank you as well. I am glad things help!

That is an interesting idea and something is in the works quite shortly containing a whole ton of harmonic exercises. Thanks!
Awesome! I look forward to it.
You nailed it. I love the Russian school, especially Rimsky.

Cool book! I hope it helps.
@@RobertDannyDavis Yes, it's a very interesting book to read, and a great introduction to learning theory from partimento patterns.
1:13 is a bit of an odd comment to diminish the works of more recent musicians
