Some additional thoughts/corrections: 1) Some folks are asking why this graph doesn't include the fourth standard triad quality, diminished. As far as I know, the main reason diminished triads are left out is just because they're unnecessary. Augmented triads were added because we needed them in order to bridge the various hexatonic cycles, but diminished triads don't really do that very well. Each one is only connected to one major and one minor chord, so they only facilitate one transformation, the Slide, which the augmented triad already covers so the diminished triads are redundant. For each augmented triad on the chart, you could add in three diminished triads along the same lines, but there's not really a lot to be gained from that so they tend to get left out. 2) That's it for now, I'll add more if I think of anything else.

The Weitzman region water bug thing in your video actually reminded me of something I'd read in The Barry Harris Harmonic method. It was about diminished chords. They actually have really similar properties if you allow for the possibility of four-note chords. Move one note up a half step in a diminished chord and you get a minor seven flat five or "half-diminished" chord, move one note down and you get a dominant 7th. You could make a whole other Weitzman region with a four-note diminished chord in the center and dominant 7th chord on one side and half diminished chords on the other! The only question would be how to create cycles like that with seventh chords... Love your stuff man. I think this was one of my favorite videos of yours so far.

@@archerparks4617 Oh boy, tesseract dance incoming! There are only 3 diminished chords, and each is going to have 8 other tetrads in its Weitzmann region: 4 pitches, each of which can be raised or lowered one half step. And then I thinnnnk the tesseract shown by Dmitri Tymoczko in vimeo.com/15130841 is the neo-Riemannian equivalent of the cube, but for tetrads instead of triads. Edit: Confirmed, that's what it is. Also discovered earlier by Douthett, who gave the name Power Tower to the 4-note equivalent of Cube Dance, even though it's not actually a tower but a triangle. Edit 2: And if that's not gnarly enough, last year Hon Ki Cheung published the "Extended 4-Cube Trio," which contains the "Tesseract Dance" plus additional 4-note chord types and voice leadings to and from triads. It's going to take some study though. Cheung 2018, "A study of inter-cardinality voice leading using voice-leading zones and the Extended 4-Cube Trio."

So, it seems that now each major and minor chord has 3 exochords under cube dance, and each augmented chord has exactly one exochord. For example C has only 3 chords that take exactly 6 steps: F#, D, and Bb. And D Aug has only Ab Aug as an exochord. I also kinda want a 3D representation of this with 4 connected stretched cubes that can rotate at their augmented vertices. I also note that the graph of Cube dance has the same genus as the typical neoriemannian graph, as both are tori.

I don't know, if anything I would argue that the relative transformation is _more_ "valid" than the parallel one, because it stays within the key, and more than the leading tone one, because it stays on a tonic function chord. Splitting it into an augmented chord can sound nice in certain cases and maybe makes the theory a bit more symmetrical, but it seems like it would be much more common to just move directly. It might be further in terms of steps, but it's closer aurally.

Neo-Riemannian theory seems the most mathematical description of harmony than other schools of thought that I know, are there other theories in music that may lend themselves well to mathematical structures?

I would play D, G, G7, Cm. It seems the chart would want me to play a Bm between the D and G. I'm curious if that sounds "smoother." Edit: seems to work best if I keep a D in the bass and use the Bm as a variation on the D chord. If I walk the bass like I normally would for a I-VIm-IV progression, it doesn't work as well. It too heavily implies the doo op changes. Also, I have to keep the G and G7 in the same harmonic rhythm, so the Bm replaces part of where I held the D chord before. Edit2: but D7 fits better than Bm. Seems this cube could be fleshed out with seventh chords. They can replace the augmented chords. D D+ G G+ Cm works, but replace the augmented chords with dominant 7ths, and its even smoother, with D D7 G G7 Cm.

This got me thinking about tetrads as well. I suspect it's harder to play this game with tetrads, because you'd probably need a larger set of chord types as you'd be moving more notes, a half-step at a time. But it would be interesting to explore the idea... it would be all too easy to keep accidentally ending up with a triad. For example, if you take C(maj7) (CEGB) and move the C down, you'd end up with Em, which is no longer a tetrad.

I have been trying to work on a map that includes sevenths. It may end up being multiple maps because there are several kinds of sevenths. In the case of major or minor triads, a single transformation leads to a flip from one to the other. Only the quality of the 3rd changes. If we maintain the major to minor flip when sevenths are included, the map we get will depend on the type of seventh added *and* whether or not the quality of the 7th changes. Consider Cmaj7. It could be linked to these 4 7th chords by changing only one note: Cmaj7 -> Cmin-maj7 (C Eb G B) 1 note moves by half step Cmaj7 -> Cdom7 (C E G Bb) 1 note moves by half step Cmaj7 -> Amin7 (A C E G) 1 note moves by whole step Cmaj7 -> Emin7 (E G B D) 1 note moves by whole step Likewise, we can move to 5 7th chords by changing only one note of a min7 chord: Cmin7 -> Cmin-maj7 Cmin7 -> Cdom7 Cmin7 -> Ebmaj7 Cmin7 -> Ebdom7 Cmin7 -> Abmaj7 The following contain augmented or diminished triads that give less options for movement: Cdom7 -> Cmin7 Cdom7 -> Cmaj7 Cmin-maj7 -> Cmin7 Cmin-maj7 -> Cmaj7 I'm not yet sure where to go with it. My intuition tells me that any complete map that includes 7ths would be multidimensional and difficult to display all at once.

This could really stand to have more explanation as to how this actually... means anything real. Like in the key of G, you could easily have a C chord go to a D chord with nothing in between (like in the super common I vi IV V), which is literally on the opposite side of this thing, as far away as you can get.

Romantic-era music started out with the Classical tonality like you're describing, and added a layer of chromaticism with smooth voice leading that sometimes fills in between Classical tonal moves and sometimes makes side trips from them. Cube Dance doesn't attempt to describe the tonal foundation, only the chromatic superstructure.

Wow! I’ve been playing with the Major Augmented scale lately (ianring.com/musictheory/scales/2457) and this concept is extremely relevant to it.

Cube dance is an impressive graphical tool as far as neo-riemannian theory is concerned, but it's not "THE" map that unifies all chords, or rather, it's not the map that shows you all relationships between chords. It emphasises parcimony, which is useful to find out which devices set cycles of thirds in motion (in the music of Schubert mainly, which seems to make up three quarters of neo-riemannian literature, or others like Brahms or Wagner). However, it is also curiously amnesic about functional tonal relationships, which makes neo-riemannian analyses sometimes strange (a nice word for "completely outlandish"). Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of neo-riemannian theory a lot, but calling this "the ultimate chord map" is misleading in a very symptomatic way: it seems as if you would forget just for the time of this explanation that you were also perfectly fine with 5ths relationships before (and after) using the Douthett graph. The fact that Weitzmann regions are drawn along an augmented triad is also very telling: augmented triads are rare even in late romantic harmony, much rarer than the diminished triad. This for me is also an element indicating that neo-riemannian theory opens the possibility of composing music in a different way, solely based on parcimonious voice leading (or at least orienting itself based on voice leading parcimony) rather than offering analytical tools used to analyse already existing music. It also beautifully enables symmetry to emerge out of an otherwise stubbornly asymmetrical tonal world. One last word - a technicality: The content of your video is good! I just tend to find your explanations too fast; as someone who usually already knows the stuff you describe, I still can tell that I wouldn't really be able to grasp it at that tempo.
