    Rick, this is seriously one of the best channels on all of youtube, not just in the music community. Thank you for providing your wealth of information to us. I also enjoy when you explain your philosophy behind the connection between life and music, I completely agree and it's inspiring to hear someone love it and live it out every day. Thanks again!

    Though I absolutely love your new content, I believe you have incredible topics in these older videos. I sincerely hope they are explored by more viewers, there is a huge arsenal of tools and possibilities to be learned and explored here.

    This is one of the best music theory RUclips channels I've come across, good work man.

    Your thoughts on exploring new harmonic ideas were wonderfully expressed, as someone who is very unfamiliar with late 20th and 21st century concert music, you've giving me a slightly better prospective when listening to modern music. Thank you Rick! Great video as per usual.

    Hi Rick,
    your channel is a gold mine for the musicians around the world.
    Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, your experience and your passion of music.

    Excellent lesson! You beautifully encapsulated why it is important to learn music theory! So many people often wonder if it's really important or necessary to learn theory and what you said in this video is exactly why it is so important. Thank you for all you do, Rick! Happy New Year!

    Beautiful ending speech, I was always in quest for that feeling, even going through different genres because of that same reason. I subscribed to your channel, can't wait to watch your other videos. Keep up the great work!

    Wow, that last speech was so inspirational. That was seriously great listening. I remember one of my best mates in my old music group saying to me something about how there's nothing wrong with simpler music, & I think that's also true.
    Needing someone to show me where to look, as you say, has in fact been what I've needed for my whole time in music, so thank you for that. There are a couple of things involving a kind of complexity that I'd really like to ask you about, but it's hard to articulate. Would you mind if one day I made a (short, & to-the-point) video for you, Rick?!

    I hope you don't mind, I'm using this video with my Music Theory class. We are attempting to write our own versions of Bach's Goldberg Variations grades 9-12.

    Rick, pretty sure you won't see this, or reply, but I've loved your channel for years and I just wondered for the hundredth time why you seem to avoid talking about Jeff Lynne and ELO at all costs? I would pretty much give anything to see you do Ticket to the Moon or Rain is Falling off their Time album, but dang, ANY ELO 'what makes this song great' would be epic. Anyway, truly enjoyed your newest Katy Perry vid. Well done sussing that out! Keep on rocking brother!

    exactly. in the same way you described dissonance I arrived here searching for inspiration with form. pop form is now boring enough to me that it stagnates the other things. also, to hear someone speak with those words is somewhat profound to me. I cannot say anything about any one else and do not care to really. however in my experience, these experiences and this path I have walked have molded something. it's a bit existential and illusive maybe, but what I'm searching for ... not words. it's strange to hear someone say what is kept to ones self, that could be the thing with music.

    Dude.. This is amazing. I can't even begin. Been looking for something like this for a while. Been telling my musical peeps to get on this channel! Really good stuff. (Btw.. love the broadness of genres/information talked about from day to day) Very useful/practical/foundational/helpful. ..SOLD! ha..

    The theme and variations part was fine, but the ending speech was great! Too bad this has only 11K views. You should expand those ideas into their own video.

      Than you feel less and less, it's not just drugs, as in "substances", you can be over sexed or gorge yourself on food so much you get tired of what was once enjoyable. In a way, happiness is sometimes just a frog jumping from lilly pad to lilly pad to achieve the next goal, the lilly pad was the last goal, whereas to be content is what most people are after really. Moderation in all things, the middle way, middle path, yada yada yada.

  • @VallaMusic
    @VallaMusic 8 лет назад

    I love Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn and Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paginni and Elgar's Enigma Variations and the Fourth Movement of Beethoven's Third Symphony. But in general I dislike the form. Probably explains why I do not like Jazz.

    • @RickBeato
      @RickBeato  8 лет назад

      Val Lamon I love the pieces you mentioned. Do you not like the form because it's not as structured as say sonata form?

    • @VallaMusic
      @VallaMusic 8 лет назад

      To my way of hearing and feeling, the Theme and Variation form IS the most structured. i view it as the most amenable vehicle whereby a composer and/or musician can simply show off their technical skill set. And that is something I loathe. Ravel said that his own BOLERO contained NO MUSIC. I agree. (It is all structure.)

    • @VallaMusic

      @Lunar Orbit u r so right - there are a few pieces by Bach that i love - but most of it i have no patience for
