man, that is revealing! at first, all i heard was, 'how dry i am...' and 'oh when the saints', but somehow you managed to elevate it into something worth listening to. it's magic.

Great video. A lot of information and technique in just 30 minutes. I'm going to have to watch this one several times to get all that theory firmly planted in my brain. Thanks so much!
Once again, beautifully explained. I never used to think about chords when composing, and unsurprisingly my counterpoint was terrible and I couldn't figure out why. Ironically, decades ago I used to compose a lot of music on guitar using nothing but chords as a start. For some reason, when I switched to keyboard I forgot about chords. So this lesson has been a useful reminder.
Many thanks again for your generosity in sharing your vast wealth of knowledge . Your videos are by far the best on you tube . A good teacher explains clearly . I hope you don’t run out of subject matter ! All the best Gareth 👍
Really nice - very helpful. I'd have been tempted to put in some more faster runs - 16th notes, but this gets us going. I really think I'm going to try this.

I certainly enjoyed this lesson and will go over it a bit more. It was learning about fugues where all of the music theory finally clicked with me. Prior to that, I relied on E Locrian (added 5th) and an A Blues minor scale, so Baroque is a style/era that I favor.
Very nicely done, Gareth. This idea of Baroque style is obviously one revised for equal temperament tuning, and I often say that the reason J.S. Bach has become so popular - much more so than in his own day - is that his harmony and melodic lines work so well in equal temperament. It makes other Baroque composers sound rather monotonous.
Yes of course although exactly which temperament he used is open to debate. That is not what I am saying. I am saying that J.S. Bach's harmony works particularly well in equal temperament tuning which in my opinion is the main reason for his god-like status today. At the time, Telemann had a much higher reputation, and if you listen to Telemann played in equal temperament it sounds monotonous. Probably it sounded fine in mean-tone.

Thank you so much for what you do. You are just amazing with such a wealth of theory knowledge. I always refer to your channel when I need to clarify something. I'm wondering if you have anything on writing a rhythm pattern for a couplet. If so please share the link. Thank you again.
That’s most kind. Nothing directly related to the couplet but writing rhythms to words is covered in our Grade 4 theory course and in our Writing a Song course at www.mmcourses.co.uk
I've been playing for less than a year and a half. When I first started watching your videos I wondered what language you were speaking. But you are such a good teacher that even I could understand, and I've made progress. This was slightly beyond my skill levels, and I will be working on other techniques and come back to this. I'm trying to learn more about cadences and PSR. I haven't yet played any fugues, nor have I examined counterpoint. Maybe it's slightly advancd, but one has to start somewhere, n'est-ce pas?
@@MusicMattersGB Funny thing that I'm watching this again, and I've started tentatively with counterpoint. I've realized two, and it's harder than I thought. One modification I've done is to change my five finger warmup routine and playing in thirds and sixths, and trying to listen to both notes. Since I suspect that I have Aural Aphantasia, this isn't an easy task. So it's going to take time. So be it. I wonder how many times I'll come back to this?

100% agree. Notes don't have a character until we define them with our personalities. What follows can often interpret what proceeded.

Love the reference to "O When the Saints, go marchin` in" in bar 8.

Thank you Gareth this is so helpful ❤🙏🙏
Glad it’s useful
Another great video. Whenever asked a music theory question, I always refer to this channel! Thanks so much Gareth!

Thanks for the video, and you're looking great these days man!
That’s most kind. Thank you.
Would you be so kind to make a video about a period in music and how develope one? And how periods are connected with each other.
Will try to offer something on that in due course.
Thank you, I couldn't find a video quite like this one UA-cam. This is a nice entry point into writing Baroque music, which I've been wanting to learn
That’s great. See our Counterpoint course at www.mmcourses.co.uk
This is immensely helpful, your best video so far. It will help me at composing definitely.
That’s great. Thanks

At the beginning, this Invention was baroque. It's a good thing Garreth was able to fix it! ;-)
😀😀😀

What a marvelous musical instinct: he speaks in tune (20:36) to (20:42)
Thank you.
Very nicely done, Gareth. This idea of Baroque style is obviously one revised for equal temperament tuning, and I often say that the reason J.S. Bach has become so popular - much more so than in his own day - is that his harmony and melodic lines work so well in equal temperament. It makes other Baroque composers sound rather monotonous.
Bach is a supreme genius.
Bach used well tempering, not equal tempering. Anything sounds fine in equal temperament as long as you have already ruined your ear!
Yes of course although exactly which temperament he used is open to debate. That is not what I am saying. I am saying that J.S. Bach's harmony works particularly well in equal temperament tuning which in my opinion is the main reason for his god-like status today. At the time, Telemann had a much higher reputation, and if you listen to Telemann played in equal temperament it sounds monotonous. Probably it sounded fine in mean-tone.

J S Bach is expert in two-part invention. More so in three-part sinfonia !
Absolutely
Sir.... The melody sounds like
Oh when the saints..❤
😀😀
The first four notes of your Invention theme are almost identical to Bach's Three-Part Invention in E minor.
That wasn’t conscious but I can see a passing resemblance now you point it out

Thank you. Good work.
It would it be helpful to speak about the derivation of the counter motive?
More could be said but the subject is covered at least in part during the video.
Thank you
A pleasure. Thanks for your support.
Sir, can we have 4c to 1.
Absolutely
@@MusicMattersGB thanks. I got this idea when composing.
Brilliant
@@MusicMattersGB too kind. I don't think so
ok
