Gymnopédie No. 1 - Tonnetz Visualization

[@sidneyrichard5319]

Wow. I've always loved the simplicity of this piece, and seeing it illustrated like this adds another layer of beauty. Plus I'm still getting the hang of what I'm looking at with these diagrams, and seeing nice simple triads and extensions is a really good start. There's an analysis of a Chopin piece that contains rather less familiar and easily analysable shapes. I would say that looking at these videos does make certain relationships and "tricks" very graphic to people like myself with less than superb ears. I like that. Thank you, Ondrej.

Dude I'm having so much fun with this, thank you for making it, and making it so smooth too! Everything looks nice and the controls and clean and simple. 10/10

Un grand merci pour cette application ! A french musician.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Thanks for letting me see what I'm hearing.

This saved me time from making me a midi tonnetz thank you

[@MrWaterPowers]

But it's not really showing the melody as part of the harmony, am I wrong?

[@ocifka]

It is! But often the melody note is already contained in the left-hand chord

Thanks for this! Only just found out about this analysis method. Really interesting.

Das Ende hört sich atonal an und ist nicht für alle Ohren gedacht... oder ?

Dammit, I thought I was original! I came up with this not too long ago, without realizing it already existed

[@GLPS2020]

Why does this type of analysis matter?

[@ergnoor3551]

Because it shows relations between notes (1-3-5 for example) easily, also it gives you interesting opportunities to analyze relations between complex chords (7,9, dim, sus etc.) visually as they always have the same structure in the net, and I've just barely scratched the surface, because those who have a knowledge of harmony will find it very helpful in constructing modulations, and even melody creation as this type of representation lets you see negative harmony easily.

@@ergnoor3551 would this be a useful tool for composers?

[@ergnoor3551]

@@GLPS2020 I'd say yes, my friend.

[@GLPS2020]

@@ergnoor3551 Have you heard of the Harmonic Table? It's on wiki. What do you think? How does it compare?

[@ergnoor3551]

@@GLPS2020 Yes, the concept is the same but the difference is that it's turned inside out: looking at this scheme imagine circles with notes are large hexagons touching each other and you will get it. I'll choose Tonnetz over Harmonic Table because it emphasizes space between notes that form chords. But choice is a subjective thing.
