Yes, the whole "creative limitation" thing. Awesome. Doing my composition degree my comp teacher had me do a piece like this using only 4; A, C, F#, G#. It's my favorite piece I wrote in the course of my degree.

[@MusicMattersGB]

The creative limitation issue can give rise to great imagination.

[@OfficialDanieleGottardo]

What a nice subset from the hexatonic collection

[@MusicMattersGB]

Absolutely

[@theoqudatq2150]

Fantastic lesson! More content on basis of composition, please!

Sort of tone rows applied to the pentatonic scale. I like this, cinematic.

[@MusicMattersGB]

It offers many opportunities

[@Flatscores]

Of course if you free the set from specific pitches and just think of it as a set of relations you can employ all the standard serial procedures: transpose, rotate, invert, retrograde, invert & retrograde, have several statements at the same time or interwoven, and combinations thereof, etc.

Very different from the usual style on this channel. I like it, and I am glad you discussed and presented how Peter uses the pitch set. I like the sound of how he arranged them, has a nice and definitely unique sound. Thanks for the breakdown.

[@MusicMattersGB]

A pleasure

Its really helpfulful Garath, Needed more videos based on Compositions Thank you :)

[@MusicMattersGB]

Excellent.

[@benasaro1043]

Thank you for this; I've always been a fan of the idea of 'triad plus one', but this looks like it will lead to a fun rabbit hole!

[@MusicMattersGB]

Go for it!

[@matthijshebly]

Delightful. Thank you.

It does evoke snow rather well I think (perhaps I'm susceptible to suggestion).

[@MusicMattersGB]

Excellent

[@jayducharme]

Fascinating. I'd never heard of Sculthorpe. I'm going to go check him out.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Very interesting composer.

[@freddecker2407]

Haunting!

Can you do a video on quartal and quintal harmony and the different colors that can be produced?

[@MusicMattersGB]

Good idea

[@unknownentrappment_ed3522]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@MusicMattersGB]

A pleasure

[@yoavshati]

Limited range and notes can also be good for writing easy pieces for beginner players (not really for piano)

[@MusicMattersGB]

True

Thank you for this inspiring video, opening new horizons...far away from Bach chorales.

[@MusicMattersGB]

[@SouleymaneSidibe-jg1be]

How to pickup other 5 notes please?

[@MusicMattersGB]

Sure you could choose your own set of notes

[@ramonacosta2647]

You could randomly select them.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Absolutely

[@SouleymaneSidibe-jg1be]

Thank you very much 🔥🔥🔥

[@povilasl5383]

I would roll one dice 2 times and if you get 1 and 3 u pick C and D and then roll 2 dice 3 times and the sum of both dice numbers and pick notes starting from C that way

[@simongross3122]

Sounds creepy
