- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Learn how to go about composing a strict canon by inversion. This lesson explains the most useful technique for constructing a strict canon by inversion bar by bar, in such a way that the melodic line has shape and direction, while maintaining rhythmic independence and creating harmony & inessential notes that all blend together. Apart from learning to write canon by inversion, this video teaches how to write good two part counterpoint.

I could study this stuff, canon, fugue, four part writing, counterpoint, all day!
Thank you, Gareth!
It’s a lifetime fascination
Mr. Green does all that in one take of course. Not your average "jump cut RUclipsr".
You’re most kind.
This is beyond my pay grade, but I learned long ago to watch anyway and try to understand. Since you are the best music teacher on Our Tube, I am not lost and feel that when the time comes I will have a good understanding.
BTW I made a comment on another piano channel about the Rule of the Octave, and he admitted that he was not an expert on Baroque music (very honest assesment) and he recommended I watch your channel.
I was stagnating in my progress, especially with Alberti Bass, since it aggravates an inner ear problem. So I dusted off my La Méthode Rose bilingual book, and started on page 1 and played through every exercise again. They rely heavily on Alberti, and I had trouble playing many of their songs. And it's helped. My piano teacher noticed that is has helped my sightreading going back to very basic exercises, and I can't recommend it enough to other Noobys. I'm now also starting on Thompson Volume 1 as well.
Excellent plan.
I love your videos theyre the reason I even got into music theory
That’s great. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Same, Gareth transmits a passion for theory and even makes it exciting. Not too exciting, after all he is English, n'est-ce pas?
@lawrencetaylor4101 😀
It was very helpful watching you put all that together.
😀
Remarkable demonstration! Thank you so much!❤
😀
Ironic. I just wrote an aria in F major with canons at the octave, fifth and inversion. Maybe next video you can show us how to write a canon under a Cantus Firmis
😀
Thanks for another great, technical, worked composition example.
A pleasure. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Fascinating! I'm learning so much from your lectures, as i choose to call your videos. For a life-long jazz musician, you are opening a whole new vista - thanks so much. Please tell me - what do conjunct and disjunct mean in this context? For once, Google doesn't really help.
That’s great. Conjunct - notes moving by step; disjunct - notes leaping.
Thank you!
😀
18:35 the result (I know it’s in description but most people read comments first😊)
😀
gratsi

Gareth, by "strict" do you mean that the canon is doing real imitation all the time? Would it also be possible to mix real and tonal imitations or is that not a good idea?
Yes. That’s how strict canon works. You can certainly mix and match.
@@MusicMattersGB Interesting, thank you!
