Gareth, do you think you could more videos relating to musical structure? Unless I'm greatly mistaken, from what I see most of your videos are more to with harmony and melody which of course has been enormously educational and invaluable to me as well as many others I am sure. But if you could do more videos on musical structure that will be fantastic. For example how does Beethoven write such large scale pieces often in sonata form while preserving the structural integrity of these pieces (in pieces such as his Eroica Symphony, Hammerklavier Piano Sonata or late String Quartets)? How does he transition between different sections so smoothly and find new ways of surprising us without compromising the musical structure?
We will address that in due course
@@MusicMattersGB I very much looking forward to that! 🙏
😀
The augmented sixths were mysterious, even after all my theory courses, but you cleared up the mystery for me. Thanks!
A pleasure. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Thank you for this video! I've been looking for this. I'm excited to start learning a course on more advance harmony next week that involves +6 and neopolitan chords.
Have a look at the Advanced Theory course or the Keyboard Harmony course at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Usefull tips! 😊 I will surely look into this the next time I sit down by my piano.
As usual, a way to solve the problem with paralell fifths is to just call them power chords and embrace them. Put them in the lower register and rock on! 😉
😀
Augmented sixth chords are my favorite after half diminished chords, so thank you! Another way to 'find' the german sixths chord is to 'find' the major seventh chord with the tonic as the third of the chord. Works well for me.
It gives you the wrong enharmonic but I can see where you’re coming from
@@MusicMattersGB Yes, you always have that of course but I'm not a huge fan of being enharmonicaly correct 😅. And in reality, it isn't the wrong enharmonic unless I write it down as Ab major 7.
That’s the crunch because it determines how the chord functions
Gesundheit! The progression you played from Italian to French to German was pretty interesting too. Each one of the I, F and G chords seem to create different possibilities for what chords follow them.
The subtle differences in colour are well worth living with
The augmented sixth interval naturally resolves to an octave. Thus Ab...F# resolves to G...G. Typically this would correspond to a G chord, but any chord with a doubled G makes sense. Personally I think any chord with a doubled note can be preceded by an appropriately chosen augmented sixth chord. No reason why it has to be formed on the b6 of the scale.
That’s absolutely true but they usually resolve to an octave that represents the Dominant in a key. You can of course build an augmented 6th chord on the flattened 2nd degree resolving to a tonic. They don’t really work resolving on to other degrees of the scale because they function as a pre dominant or pre tonic.
Great Video
Sounds good for cinema music.
😀
great tutorial as always. one thing I wish you could do, is perhaps notate those in a notation software (plenty of free ones outhere) it will be much easier on the eye and maybe you could make those available to download and that woulod be excellent. cheers
😀
Bless you!
You’re most kind
The minor key example shows a parallel 5th in the German iteration.
Correct
