Ask Dr. B About Music Theory, Episode 19 (Philosophical Questions About Music Theory)

[@وهجالضحى-و9ت]

You are a hidden treasure Dr. B thank you for everything

[@danielcic]

Modern Talking isn't music, it's fundamental different. I agree absolutely.

[@popoolos478]

absolutely THE best teacher... EVER!!!!

[@MikeDGuitar]

This is pretty awesome from what I've listened to so far. Real education on music is very rare over the Internet, haha.

Stunning video

[@ChristopherBrellochs]

Thanks! I like your user name - particularly because I love Shostakovich's 5th Symphony. Best wishes, Dr. B

[@Butlinsgvn6]

@@ChristopherBrellochs glad you like it! It’s baffled a few people 😂

[@NhiTran-zd8um]

I am very glad you are offering us these precious insights

Dr. B; excellent explanations of your subscriber's questions. As usual you gave answers (that included the "why" and "how") in layperson terms; especially on how the harmonic series and their overtones contribute to the timbre we hear when playing diatonic melodies and harmonies. Dr. B. After watching all your videos...I noticed you are focused on smooth voice leading; however, when I listen to a pianist play chords to accompany a melody from a lead sheet that voice leading rules of doubling, inversions, or resolution of the 7th (of a 7th Chord) and leading tones seem to be ignored.... therefore, I'm I to surmise that voice leading are for 4-part voice writing and not for piano chords accompaniment? On another note...I was just curious about where you're at with your special project because I'm sure my fellow listeners and followers...are very interested in seeing and hearing this project (once completed). Again, Dr. B thanks for sharing you wealth of music theory and music in general.

This is like science of music....brilliant,,..,,.wel done....,

[@JimMonsanto]

Dr. B, 12:38 you were talking about not liking what the music makes you feel, right. I vividly remember when I was about 6 or 7 years old, over 30 years ago, being absolutely scared out of my wits by kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZOqanyQjN2FgZI (The Mission Soundtrack, "The Refusal") when my dad played it in the car. I was crying and demanding it be turned off i was so terrified by it. I'd never even SEEN the Mission (it's my favorite movie to this day, now!) but oh boy did THAT music do me in something fierce!

Try Lacrimosa - Elodia,tracks: Halt Mich,and Sanctus

[@patrickcunningham618]

saved by the music again...ty Dr. B!!!!!!!!!

[@popoolos478]

THANK YOU DR. B!!!

[@CalebePriester]

Amazing stuff! I'm feeling blessed right now, thank you so much for sharing all this musical knowledge!! These types of discussions I enjoy very much. I loved it!

The only real way to “treat a dissonance equally to a consonance” is to treat a perfect consonance as “too perfect” and resolve it or a dissonance to imperfect consonances. This technique works better when the scale is n notes per a given imperfect interval.

[@patrickpirker1634]

just thought about why is it, that inversions have different functions? like the diminished chord most of the time is used in 1st inv.? Or in general 2nd or third inversions, is it because the highest pitch is always more audible? More prominent?

[@kasunatapattu3827]

Superb solving problems 👌😊😊😊😊👍👍

[@popoolos478]

4:22 him: so if we have the flute marker: i am a flute _high pitched squeaky noises_

[@kukumuniu5658]

Hi again :) I also have question ;D Could You talk with us a little bit about harmonic,yes,but MAJOR,not minor ? and his modes :) [cdefg a-flat b] Im looking for music in that scale and modes but it is hard to find. What You can recomend?Do You know something Dr B?

[@patrickpirker1634]

so interesting!!

[@patrickpirker1634]

so helpful!!

[@bryancortina2604]

Thanks man, keep doing this, 🙏❤️

[@briankrusinski7429]

is there an equation to calculate the created resonant third note? or a chart that list this note for all intervals?

[@patrickcunningham618]

Mixolydian is a major mode tooo!
