Thanks for these videos!!!

Harp part is wrong

Nice work. Where do you find the scores for these reductions? Do you do it by ear?

All of a sudden I'm 8 years old again and "flying" along the street with my coat tied round neck singing this fabulous music and pretending to be Superman... 40 years later and nothing changes. It still makes me want to fly. Seeing this analysis just confirms how brilliant it is. Thanks for your hard work.

What is a score reduction?

What software do you use for your score reduction and analysis?

Simply genius orchestration. The whole Nutcracker is a fantastic gem for all orchestra enthusiasts! Nicely done reduction too, thanks for sharing!

1:30 😂 triplet in triplet

I like your contents. These are of great value! Please keep it up.

This is amazing. I learned it by ear earlier this year and this is clearing a lot of things up for me. I played it as a solo piano/synth lead (think Vangelis style) but really want to work up this Latin jazz version next. I like how this, more than any other of his score music, screams "hey guys remember I'm a jazz musician!?" the loudest.

1:14 Why is there List 1 and List 2 here? Aren't they the same?

Bro, i say again, you are the best arranger on you tube.

I can’t wait for the chistmas tree growing and the pas de deux from the first and second act!

Good! Bar 33 is missing!

I cant really see the details

Thank you very much for sharing it!

Shouldn't it be I-(add2) instead of I-(sus2)? "Sus" is for suspension, meaning that the 2nd degree substitutes the 3rd. Here it's added to the triad instead

Incredible 👏, do you need help for the music? Im arranger and composer. So if you need some help, speak with me 👍

Fantastic work . Very helpful. Many thanks

Thank you for all the work you put into this. Since different people use it differently, what exactly do you mean by the triangle (△) in the chord names?

I hate to be nitpicky but I believe the Es that 1st violin plays at 0:40 are one octave too high....They are playing certain harmonics on the E string that don't affect or raise its pitch from whats notated. Other than that I am very impressed by this score analysis and the chord notations! Especially with the runs at 2:36

Please Harry Potter And Pirates of Caribbean!!

The second chord is wrong - it's an Eb, not Enat at the bottom. Which means not Amaj7 but F7aug (no root, and #9b9 in melody. V+7 in Bb.) The fourth chord Eb7 not maj7 (Db in melody).

4:19 you misspelled "weird"

This is possibly my all time favourite piece. I always say, within the notes of this piece lie the answers to the universe, but .... when it is performed, very few performances get the ending right, for instance this one. It's like the way the ending music of films is talked over, and nowadays on these streaming services is cut off completely. We live in a 'What's next?' society. The ending of this piece is supposed to gradually, repeat GRADUALLY fade off into the distance untill you are not quite sure when the music stops and the silence begins. There is not supposed to be a rush to finish the piece and get onto the next one. The ending of this version faded out WAY too quickly. WAY too quickly, I repeat WAY WAY WAY too quickly. Why are so many conductors of this piece so eager to get it done. Of course it could have been the sound engineer, but I've heard live performances by professional orchestras who do the ending just as badly, in many cases you can actually heard the choir stop singing. That is not supposed to happen, you are not supposed to hear that. Please performers of this piece, there is no rush, get into the piece, if you are not entranced and hypnotised by the ending of this wonderfull piece I suggest there must be something missing within your soul.

MISTAKES ABOUND

I came here for inspiration. I was not disappointed.

I think the first chord should be AbaugM7, not CM, even though the Ab in the first chord is thought of as the pedal point.

Brilliant! Genius use of harmony.

So great to see this. The first score reduction of this that I saw had an absolutely obnoxious interruption of the music track right at the climax.

There's quite a lot that I don't see in my score. For example, measure 3, I don't see a 7th (B) or a 9th (D#) in that chord on beat 2. There are several other places where I'm similarly confused by notes in your reduction that simply aren't present in the score. For example, measure 61, I cannot find the B and D# on beat 1 or the D# on beat 2. Also, measure 77, the chord is clearly a B7 in the horns not an F#7. My guess is that these are transposition errors. What score did you use as a source? Still, all in all, the reduction is a pretty heroic effort.

The original film is still the best. It showed the awe and majesty of the dinosaurs through this score.

Damn, I haven’t seen an analysis this in-depth since my music theory classes in college💀

This is a superhuman effort, thanks!

The fact that the cough was included XD

😅개미핥기소금먹방

Nice thoughtful score analysis! Where did you get the full score to this piece? Also another question, I’m assuming the numbers besides each note indicate the degree of the chord each instrument is playing. What’s the difference between the dashes and the commas?

Terrible choreo a la primera de Brahms.

hello Mr. Kuhns. I tried to send you my credential about my paypal twice so I could donate you some money in this comment section but unfortunately it is gone everyday. Are you deleting my comments or youtube just delete it? please answer the commment if you are interested on my donation :)

Hi, first time here looking for your analysis, thank you for this great work you did. Is there any explanation about the lists you include in your analysis? at first seems a little confusing to see all these numbers with parentheses etc, I think lists are set of notes o scale degrees played by particular instruments depending on the harmony played is´n it?. Do you have an explanation or a way to clarify this system? Thank you.

you share this for free? wow, what a generous person you are. Do you have paypal so people could have the option of one-time donation other than patreon?

5 years later, this in depth analysis is still greatly appreciated.❤❤❤

Hi, great analysis! Thank you for sharing this wonderful reduction!

Thank you very much! Please make more of these!

I can clearly see the Lydian mode listed in the brighter major statements of the Journey to the Island portion of this theme. No wonder that portion of the theme sounds bright, grand, and bold.

Thanks for putting all the work to condense these scores! I noticed the first chord on measure 40 should have A naturals, not A flats. Measure 38 also.
