**Correction: The spread voicing mentioned at 0:08:49 IS FIRST INVERSION, not second. Edit: thanks user @cas-sius for pointing out 0:00:46 the dim and augmented chords are mislabeled below the staff. (The chord symbols are correct on top but the bottom for aug and dim are swapped) Update: Since the cord symbols and the labels below are incorrect at 0:00:46, I removed the labels below the staff! {9/12/24}

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.

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.

For anyone interested in exploring how the 600¢ tritone functions in other tuning systems (when applicable), check out the Xenharmonic Wiki! Edit: I also noticed that at 8:23, the F♯7 to G♯m resolution sounded like the C7 to Dm resolution.

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.
@JohnZazoMusicАй бұрын
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.

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.
@JohnZazoMusicАй бұрын
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.

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.

This video is to start a discussion /offer support to developing musicians who feel frustrated and defeated while in the process of GRINDING to become better. (Music is a lifetime grind) At the end of the video, I do my best to give actionable advice to musicians who are very serious about finding better, healthy ways to cope with failure or making mistakes. Especially as a student, it can be very frustrating when you feel that you have worked very hard, working all semester preparing for a performance, and you come away from it feeling unsatisfied--and then it's time to move on to the next thing! With that said, I would like to emphasize that Both Hobbyists, Amateurs, and Professionals are welcome here and are willing to be a part of this discussion. Also--there is so much more to be discussed on this topic, but I really wanted to keep the video relatively concise and leave room for people to share their thoughts and add some nuance. For example, another thing that can be discussed is our mental approach to performing, especially regarding the minutes leading up to a performance.

Loved this! Thank you for sharing. Your points on body language were fantastic. I think this message will help many individuals out in mindfully improving their craft. I would like to add - mistakes are never 100% preventable; always be kind to yourself! If all humans make mistakes, we can cancel out the variable in terms of it being critical of ourselves as artists and people. Also (this may ruffle some feathers)- in my opinion, blatantly criticizing someone for making a mistake as part of feedback is NOT constructive criticism. When it comes to giving feedback to others, not everything can be justified as helpful feedback. I believe that if it is destructive to the person receiving the feedback, it is destructive criticism by definition.
@JohnZazoMusic8 ай бұрын
I completely agree with everything you said! I think for a future video, I could perhaps talk more about healthier ways of thinking/reflecting on mistakes because you're right; they are not 100% preventable, but we can do things to reduce their frequency, as well as their impact. Just want to be clear that most of the time, mistakes are not a big deal, and the audience will (usually) not even notice them. So it's best not to react in the moment and focus more on all the good/hard work you put in! With that approach, the audience will be much more likely to appreciate the performance, I think. Regarding feedback, I would agree, especially for higher-level musicians. 100% of the time, they are already aware when they make a mistake, so it's pretty much a wasted effort to point it out to them. Instead, it would be better to get them tools to help reduce mistakes and reduce the impact that they have on the performance (by teaching musicians not to allow mistakes to have power over their mental approach to a performance)
