    Incredible you just condensed western music by means of its most essential building blocks: ratios from the overtone series. You have opened my eyes. Thank you!!

    Harmony is a significant feature of western music but it seems to me less so in the music of other cultures. And, even perhaps in the music of early Europeans or European folk music. Melodies based on specific scales or modes is more dominant feature. And they have just as much evocative power as harmony. Perhaps, even more so. Music is easier to understand given the limited series of notes where it can then emphasize rhythm and dynamics for emotional effect. I'd be interested to hear an analysis on this topic.

      I agree, I would like to learn how the equal tempered scale applies.

      In my opinion,harmonic theory/ counterpoint is the great gift of the West to world music,however most instruments originated in the East. I can't recommend studying Ethnomusicology enough. The subject of intonation and temperament in relation to culture can be a little unsettling and disorienting. Indonesian Gamelan,Persian/Arabic and Indian music each have their own very thorough systems of theory that can be mind expanding. There's so many ways to divide up an octave. A modern amazing invention is Hermode tuning in Digital Audio Workstations,as well as a whole library of temperaments.

    Fascinating. I'm studying functional and non-functional harmony more in-depth as another way to improve the quality of my improvisation, arrangement, reharmonisation, and composition.
    Your channel is great, I've only recently discovered you. Thank you for your clearly presented content. ✅🙏🏼

    you should've called it "Pythagoras and the music of the past" considering that you are talking about quite old concepts and exclusively old music on old instruments, we're not even talking about the present here, let alone the future.

      Thank you for your comment. I suppose your position is understandable if you have only watched this one video from a series of six, four of which are now published. If you were to watch the others and the two that are on the way, you would, perhaps, see what is intended by the phrase, 'Music of the Future'.
