    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

  • @GrimScarFayn
    @GrimScarFayn 2 роки тому +1

    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.

    What a marvelous musical instinct: he speaks in tune (20:36) to (20:42)

  • @christopherlord3441
    @christopherlord3441 2 роки тому +1

    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.

    • @MusicMattersGB
      @MusicMattersGB  2 роки тому

      Bach is a supreme genius.

    • @jimivy6019
      @jimivy6019 Рік тому

      Bach used well tempering, not equal tempering. Anything sounds fine in equal temperament as long as you have already ruined your ear!

    • @christopherlord3441
      @christopherlord3441 Рік тому

      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.

    The first four notes of your Invention theme are almost identical to Bach's Three-Part Invention in E minor.

    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.

    • @MusicMattersGB
      @MusicMattersGB  2 роки тому +2

      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
      @MusicMattersGB  11 місяців тому

      Absolutely. It’s a most exciting journey on which you’ve embarked. Keep going!

    • @lawrencetaylor4101
      @lawrencetaylor4101 10 місяців тому

      @@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?
