i lol'd @ 6:26. it really is wild how just as Im looking for a certain idea, you seem to upload something that helps right along with what i'm trying to do. as always, thanks very much!
That’s most kind. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
You are an absolute treasure, thank you you have made my journey into composing so much more clear and grounded, rather than doing everything on feeling and intuition.
That’s great. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
This helped me! I am currently writing an orchestral waltz, been somewhat stuck for days now but this pulled the plug. I could even contruct new emotional characters regardless of being in the same minor, just because of the longer rhythmical differences. Thank you for the videos you make, they are of great value!
A pleasure. Glad it’s all moving forwards for you. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
I've been using this technique for as long as I can remember, but I never knew what the formal terminology is. This lesson ties in nicely with your recent "Happy Birthday" lesson.
😀
I found this channel today and it has been so so helpful! You are so friendly and fun and make everything make so much sense! One of my new favourite channels, I will be sharing this with all of the music students in my class :)
That’s great. Welcome! Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
As you allude at one point, augmentation can make quite a magnificent effect. For example, at the end of Britten's _The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra_ (aka Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell without the narration 😊), he calms the tumult of the fugue with a slow restatement of the opening theme.
Absolutely
This is something I've been wanting to explore for a while now but I didn't really know where to start. This certainly helps, thank you!

Hi! I just finished my A.P (Advanced placement- college level for high schoolers) music theory class over here in the U.S! My boyfriend recently began music fundamentals for college and he's been having a hard time. We both watched your video on simple vs. compound time a few minutes ago, and it was the best breakdown of the concept I've ever heard. You are absolutely excellent, you sound so friendly and intelligent! I can't wait to watch this video (and many others) and try to relearn the stuff that I didn't catch in that class. I just remembered y'all have a class online too!
Thanks so much, please keep making music theory content!
Thank you. Great to hear from you and good luck with all your endeavours. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Nice tools. Good class.

The way you present the ideas is so clear and immediately accessible, but also they make me genuinely feel like I can use them to good effect (very inspiring for an amateur like me)!
Also, 6:25 lol

Composing a melody that can later be played together in both augmentation and diminution takes quite a bit of craft. See, for example, the eighth fugue in Book 1 of the WTC by Bach or the fugal finale in Beethoven's Op. 110 Piano Sonata.
Absolutely
It can be just elaboration rhythmically on the theme.
That’s another possibility
Very good teaching
Thank you. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Great lesson, thank you. Shall look at your courses now, am interested in grade 6 theory.
Have a look at our Advanced Theory course, which covers the entire syllabus for grades 6-8.
@@MusicMattersGB i shall certainly do that.
Enjoy
great

From the title I thought the video would be about developing a theme or line of melody by augmenting or diminishing intervals.
This video is about augmentation and diminution of rhythm.
Hi Gareth,
(Beginner here)
At the end of the augmented variation; Is there a rule and/or stylistic reason, for notating a semibreve tied to a semibreve instead of a breve?
I'm guessing if it's not a stylistic choice. Then is there some rule about a note crossing the bar line? But, then wouldn't that indicate you'd need a measure in at least 8/4, which sounds awkward and maybe unnecessary. (I hope my thoughts make sense.)
If you need to cross a bar line you’ll need a tie.
