Interesting to contrast it with the harmonically quite disturbing French SNCF railway jingle that outlines a minor chord with a flat 6! ua-cam.com/video/C1UOIHsT8Ds/v-deo.html. Possibly the most haunting railway jingle?!
Hi Gareth, really appreciate how you "disect" the music, without taking out the music. a fan here, I also try to give something to the world through the Music. Thank you! 🙏 😊

YES!!!! Now all we need is an analysis on Tchaikovsky and not only his amazing use of harmony, but his melodic work and motifs too. Then I will be content in life.
Great video! I love that you couldn't help yourself melting at those Aug chords. :) Grieg is one of the most underrated / underperformed composers in my opinion. His piano Concerto for example is an absolute masterpiece: that 2nd slow movement beginning, modeled after Beethoven's Emperor, is full of examples of his mastery of late romantic harmony that you presented so well here. Cheers!
What a fantastic, brilliant composition, with so many pivot note key modulations, wonderful motifs, and on. This would have been an excellent example for my second year of music theory... Thank you so very much for the exquisite explanation. I appreciate your passion and taste in fine music and capacity of translating this into words - wonderful! Thank you and cheers from Seattle! Alex

I am totally biased here, but this is one of my favourite piano pieces that I know as a Norwegian and a pianist. I played this on my piano exam back in 2018 and let me say, one of the biggest joys I had during my time at the school was to understand Grieg and his perception of harmony. He went so far ahead of his rivals when talking about harmony that I was surprised when I was first handed the sheet. Grieg sure was and still is one of the greatest I know of.

Are there any scientific studies on how the mind perceives 3rd-less chords (power chords)? I think the brain is neutral until the 3rd is introduced, at which time the brain lies to you and tells you that you perceived the tune as either major or minor from the beginning.
Absolutely delightful video. This video reminded me of my two semesters of Music Lit. (more years ago than I care to admit). The two professors that taught the courses (when I took them) were just a passionate about the material as you are. It makes a world of difference how much useful knowledge one can glean from a course when that course is taught by someone who honestly marvels at the artistry and skill of the composer. Grieg was a brilliant composer. I will always regard Bach as the epitome of what a composer/musician should be. Even so, composers like Grieg and Chopin, Schubert and Soler, Monteverdi and Rossini, and all the rest are still brilliant. I did not mention Beethoven and Mozart with the rest ONLY because I consider those two geniuses to be the other two members of music's triumvirate...the holy trinity of Western Music. Wonderful Video, Gareth! Thanks so much.
Made me laugh with the interlude about the British railway lol This video is also teaching me that I happen to like the sound of Grieg's style very much

Wouldn't it be easier to put a staccato over the the quaver and just make the quaver a dotted quaver so you don't have to have the rests in between the quavers? For example in the second beat of bar 4.

Another enlightening analysis. Thank you! I really enjoyed your anecdote about the trains too. I never realized that.
😀

That slower section in G (and the modulation to B) was absolutely exquisite. Definitely going to look into learning this!
It’s a beautiful work.

This piece for me was love at first hearing, back then. I absolutely love the Em9 chord.
It’s a lovely piece. I agree about the Em9!

Fabulous composer. Vastly underrated

Absolutely amazing composer. I heard his Piano Concerto again this afternoon - stunning work.
Thank you for helping us composers learn new tricks!

It’s always interesting how the brain inserts the missing 3rd or not. Everything depends on the musical context.

Most kind. I’m completely with you on the musical observations.
Made me laugh with the interlude about the British railway lol
This video is also teaching me that I happen to like the sound of Grieg's style very much
That’s good. Glad you like Grieg.
great stuff as always !
Most kind
A masterful and fascinating video. Thank you!

It’s another way of notating it.

Still remember his Arietta,
