    Underrated channel. But the sad fact is that people don't want to really study music. Please do this on more Beethoven sonatas.

      I hope to make more people want to study music. My intention is to do all movements of all Beethoven's sonatas although I might need to think of what might be the best format

      @@syroyid-class Hello and thank you for the questions! I am primarily a Catholic musician and specialize in Gregorian Chant. I have no music degree but have been studying chant and sacred polyphony at my parish for over 5 years and have more recently been trying to self-teach myself organ. I practice a lot of piano at home as it helps improve my overall keyboard skills.
      I have technically composed before (very basic music) but I know so little about harmony that I can never write satisfying accompaniment for the beautiful melodies I like to imagine

    • @syroyid-class
      @syroyid-class  Месяц назад +2

      I would like to encourage you to compose more. I understand the challenge of composing accompaniments for melodies you create-it can be tricky to find the right harmony to bring them to life! Here are a few tips for adding chords to your melodies:
      1.- Start with basic triads. For each note in your melody, identify what chords fit that note.
      2.- Understand cadences. Cadences are important for creating a sense of closure in your music.
      3.- Focus on chord inversions. When you're writing accompaniment, using different inversions of chords can make the harmony feel more connected to the melody. F
      4.- Use pedal tones. Especially when composing for organ, holding a pedal tone (a sustained note in the bass) can add richness and depth to your accompaniment.
      5.- Practice simple progressions like I-IV-I-V-I, or I-V-vi-ii-V-I. These progressions provide a strong foundation for most melodies.
      As you continue to practice, you can move into more advanced techniques.

      My dissertation was on the concept of expression in Theodor Adorno's philosophy of music. I tried to show how it stems from his experience of the music of Schoenberg, how it relates to different conceptions of musical expression found throughout history, and how it informs his critique of the post-WW2 avant-garde. I also attempted a kind of "Adornian" interpretation of the music of Morton Feldman, emphasizing how he differs from most of his post-WW2 avantgardist peers and drawing on parallels between his late work and the writings of Samuel Beckett.
      I am now working on a project dealing with the historiography of music, where my main goal is to flesh out the philosophy of history implicit in mainstream music history and propose an alternative model inspired by the philosophy of history of Adorno and Walter Benjamin.

    • @syroyid-class

      Thank you so much for the kind words! Your dissertation sounds absolutely fascinating-Adorno's philosophy of music, especially his thoughts on expression and his critique of the avant-garde, is such a rich area for exploration. Your current project on the historiography of music is interesting. Do you have any publications you could share? Exploring the underlying philosophy of history in mainstream music history and developing an alternative model with inspiration from Adorno and Benjamin could offer such fresh perspectives. Best of luck with your work-I’d love to hear more about it as it progresses!
