    Brahms definitely considered all these possibilities with interesting and unexpected modulations in his late piano works. Thank you for providing the free pdf of this material for study and reference. Only good things can result from a deeper understanding of this aspect of harmony.

    the diminished chords are inversions of each other and two other diminished which means that both Eo7 and Bbo7 are also inversions of Go7 and C#o7, so they could also resolve to Abm and Dm.

      Thank you for mentioning this. When I was studying the relationship between these chords, I was sure there was some things I missed but couldn't connect the dots on. If I make an updated video I'll be sure to credit your contribution!
      Plus diminished chords may deserve a video of their own.

    Years ago I saw this video, Diminished 7th Chords: The Secret Doorway To Everywhere. There are only three Diminished 7th Chords. Blows my mind. I guess your video showed the relatives to the Diminished 7th Chords, if I understood it at all. Thanks for the PDF. I look forward to banging out some of those chords on my piano.

    Great explanation! I really appreciate your pacing and structure (and lack of redundancy), it really helped me to consolidate certain ideas

      I’d have to look into that! Haven’t heard of it to be honest. There are so many different ways to think about it the more I’ve looked into the subject. Hopefully this has been somewhat helpful.

    Amazing video! When applicable, I love using half-octave (600¢) tritone symmetry in tuning systems other than 12edo (the standard Western tuning system). For this to happen, the EDO (equal division of the octave) must be divisible by 2. For example, in 22edo (22 notes per octave), C harmonic 7 (C vE G Bb) and ^Gb harmonic 7 (^Gb Bb ^Db ^Fb) contain the same 600¢ tritone (vE = ^Fb) as 22 is divisible by 2.

      Thanks! -and that’s a very insightful comment-I hadn’t even thought of the many exciting ways that the tritone could be used in other tuning systems-but since you’ve pointed it out, I expect that its symmetry can be extremely useful, especially with more notes and structures to choose from. I have much to learn about that!

    Funny (not funny) thing is, when I try to use anything other than I, VI, V, vi, ii with the supposed respective functions the result is rubbish.

    • @JohnZazoMusic
      @JohnZazoMusic  2 місяці тому +2

      Interesting, there are couple reasons off the top of my head why (I think) that could be. But I’d have to think about it more. (Assuming If I’m understanding correctly.)

      probably a voice leading problem. or maybe a misunderstanding of harmonic functions

      It could also be a conflict with genre or style. Some musical genres/styles allow for spicy harmonies more easily than others.
