    3:27 It would not be a mistake in the common practice period to use parallel fifths and octaves, it's only a mistake, in *all* music, for them to occur between two voices, with the outcome of one of the voices disappearing into the other.

    You have excellent penmanship! Also your explanation was thorough all while maintaining a pace which gave us enough time to understand yet not to long to feel laborious. Thanks!

    wow that penmanship is beautiful where I can learn how to write music like that, is there a book or something that teach it how to do it?... and your explanations are excellent .

      Thanks Alberto. I use a Lamy calligraphy pen with a 1.5mm nib. The book I used (back in the 1980s!) was called Music Manuscript Techniques: A Programed Approach by Paul O Harder. You may be able to find it on Ebay, as it has long been out of print.

    Beautiful hand writing! I love those time signatures! - The concept you explain so well is known to me as "mixture". Not sure if that is a term in English (American?) music theory? It derives from the (church) organ where it is possible to add registers of different intervals. Of course those would "chromatic mixtures" (as opposed to "diatonic mixtures"). Ravel's Bolero is certainly well-known for using that technique. And, for another example, also Richard Strauss' Rosenkavalier employs that idea as motive for Octavian's white rose. Not to mention Messiaen...

    • @bkehlenb
      @bkehlenb  Год назад +2

      Thanks for your comment! Yes, when Ravel does this in Bolero, he really does seem to be adding in overtones moving in parallel to the melody, much like the registers of an organ to create a beautiful "organ-like" orchestration effect, which the word "mixture" aptly describes. Many theorists use the term "parallel harmony" to describe what I go over in this video. I think the difference is that in "planing" or "harmonic parallelism," the parallel pitches are not always confined to the overtone series.

    STrict planing: Shostakovitch, prelude in Ab from 24 Prel&Fug. Because it's all major triads the effect is somewhere between humorous and disturbing. Debussy adds lots of notes, dilluting this stark effect.

      @@bkehlenb To be honest, the preludes are rather better than the fugues with a rare exception.

    If you would like see an excellent description of how you might use planing effectively in your own composition, take a look at the sub-chapter on parallel harmony in Vincent Persichetti's indispensable book, Twentieth Century Harmony (p. 198): www.academia.edu/38883692/Vincent_Persichetti_Twentieth_Century_Harmony
    Persichetti taught music theory and composition at Julliard from 1947 to 1987.

      @@bkehlenb Thank you that's good to know about. I'm currently quite low level with my theory and have found your 'Theory 1' series invaluable in helping with this in recent weeks, but this was the first video of yours I came across which made a concept which seemed out of my reach very understandable. I think you pace the videos very well. Hello from Devon, UK!

    Great video. Both, and strict way more than diatonic, would be exceptionally effective improvisational techniques. As an organist, I'll certainly fetch from this video a lot from now on. Thanks a lot! Curious fact: I'm Italian and can't think of how "planing" would translate in my own language... do you know perhaps? Cheers, looking for your next video

      Thank you for your comment, Stefano. Yes, I use these kinds of progressions all the time in my own jazz improvisation. The closest I came to a translation was on it.wikipedia: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelismo_armonico

    So when moving one chord shape on a guitar I’m not music theory illiterate, I’m just strict planing!

    • @bkehlenb
      @bkehlenb  Год назад +1

      Good point! Strict planing can be a challenge to notate and/or play on a piano, but is much easier on a guitar.
