I wouldn't say the circle of fifths is rare in classical, but its disguised very well. In mozarts most famous sonata k545 1st movement. The circle of fifths is in there for like 4 of 5 bars. I cant remember but it has the circle of fifths with connecting parallel 10ths. They were very educated.
Bro the second variation, F to B7 to Esus4 is freaking amazing mate. The 7th at the base line is really doing the difference here (my bad I know I’m not using the good music terminology here.. it’s really different in french that’s why!)
@@jacobruiz97 This is one of my finest parts of all my progressions - it is like it ties all the other voicings together with B7 as a secondary dominant.
I've always preferred the Baroque period but could never figure out why. Thought maybe it was the imagination taking me away of landed gentry in expensive clothes, drunk and dancing until 1AM in a hall. Powdered wigs and rouge. Come to find out it was the circle of 5ths.
The variations on the piano/keyboard are so beautiful! The string sound has such a nice warm "tone" to it, and it made me realize how many songs have thia progression! Now I know why those songs feel so special.

Yeah, it would be nice if you could share the link to your circle of fifths playlist. I happen to be writing a music theory book at the moment and one of the things I will go over is the Circle of Fifths progression, both common subsets(ii -> V -> I and vi -> ii -> V -> I) and the full octave progression from I back to I. And the more examples I have, the better.
v7/V v7 Vmaj7/IV IVmaj7 viim7b5 V7/vi vi7 in all keys lets you practice all chords in all categories at least once each/key (one half-diminished, two each of major, minor, and dominant)
It’s amazing I noticed I was listening to I will survive from the first introduction of the progression except I didn’t really until it actually came up
I'm only now learning about music since I wasted my life being atonal. Over 400 years ago they taught orphans in Napoli to become maestri, and this system was passed down all over Europe. Most of the greatest composers had Italian teachers. The Paris (and probably Warsaw and Russian) Conservatories were based on this system. Roman numeral analysis pales in comparison. A good source is Derek Remes in Lucerne, Gjerdingen and Mortenson in America.
I wrote a song , it came out as an exercise over progressions of forth, and is this exact cord progression just that I use Dm again instead of Bdim, but I play it in gm. Of course I knew was somewhere in classical music .
I didn't think I'd like #4 that much because the beginning had a bit too much chromaticism for me, but I LOVED the ending, with the Picardy Third (I Major chord ending a chord progression in a minor key.)!!!!
Thanks a lot.. from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 here.. Could you please introduce some other chord progressions, from which I can give a try for Classical Music improvisations.. 🙏
at 3:13 I'm a little confused. the violin can't play chords, so how can you say it's using a chord progressions? are you just treating arpagios like chords?
D-group (major, minor, diminished) is the strongest group in the 12-semitone environment. Everybody loves D-group, especially D major and D minor (lydian-phrygian)
I dont know if you'll see this comment or not but i have to thank you. I dont even play piano. I play guitar. Watching this video for some reason made chord inversions make sense in my head the way nothing else ever has. This video showed up in my suggested so I figured get why not. I grabbed my guitar and played along for a few minutes. Then asked myself how can i play this differently. It was like in an instant all the triad and inversion drills ive been doing for months landed in my brains understanding of concept💡 pile. Thank you

@@BehdadPiano yes, understood, in music theory I was taught all inversions reversed add up to 9 ... the example though, A D G C F B E A is quite certainly fourths, and there is also a "Circle of Fourths" and these are it ... thanks
Circle of Fourths is the Circle of Fifths backwards. I'm not sure if there was ever a rule specifying when it was appropriate to call it which name, but it's something I've wondered. In this progression, it definitely seems to be moving in fourths though.
I need some help. Would this be called the ascending fifths progression, or descending fifths? Or is it descending fourths? I'm getting confused the terminology.
@@Zimzamzoom95 Yep. There is another circle of fifths progression that goes the other way, I -> V etc. which would be called the Ascending fifths progression, but it typically only goes a third up(so stopping on the mediant in major, dominant in minor) rather than the full octave of the more common Descending Fifths.

I FINALLY FOUND THE CHORD PROGRESSION THAT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR YEARS THANK YOU SO MUCH
Same
Taking your mind is at ease now
The 4 7 3 6 2 5 1 That puts your mind at ease
I’m so glad to have a name for this progression. Explains why I love Vivaldi and how he shaped my taste in music.
Just in case you don’t know this song listen to Homage by mild high club
It’s such a gorgeous progression it sounds so logical and perfect
It really showcases the beauty of tonal harmony
It goes around the circle of fifths mostly
Homage brings me here
I can not live without this progression
I think this is why I fell in love with Vivaldi. Very few composers did this descending 5th's so well.
I think handel did some good stuff
@@puttster7939 Vivaldi prácticamente lo inventó, pues fue él quien lo volvió popular los demás solo lo imitaron. 🤷 Honor a quien honor merece.

Thank you very much dear maestro for your comment :) I think I can guess what measures you are talking about. Great example!
Absolutely... without sounding cliched...
There is also a wonderful passage in KV 332 Allegro.
This progression feels so natural:0
It's because it's symmetrical
@@sameash3153 I think it is because each chord resolves to the next chord moving by fifth (each chord has dominant function for the next one)
Bro the second variation, F to B7 to Esus4 is freaking amazing mate. The 7th at the base line is really doing the difference here (my bad I know I’m not using the good music terminology here.. it’s really different in french that’s why!)
No problem, we can understand! And I agree with you!
I think another reason why it works so well is because the B7 chord tonicizes Esus4
@@jacobruiz97 This is one of my finest parts of all my progressions - it is like it ties all the other voicings together with B7 as a secondary dominant.

Went from there to here. I knew that it sounded so familiar. Now I see why.
This song has been telling us that the composer is in love with this chord progression, that's it.
I always liked the vibe of the Burn's solo sections. I guess this is why.
Deep Purple?
I'm sorry I hadn't finished the vid when I wrote the comment
Yeah, many songs are using this nice progression.
Another of the great ones is: Fly Me To The Moon.
Of all the videos that came up in my search, this one was the one that I desperately needed. Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad you liked it :)
The first example is by Marcello, not Bach. Bach made a keyboard arrangement of Marcello’s concerto. Also check out Brahms’s Handel Variations.
Not only I’m enjoying you posting but learning A LOT
Thank you is really wonderful
