Superbly structured and fascinating lecture, so well structured in fact that all the asides and quips added to the information and didn't distract or detract from it. Skill! Such patient performers too. It would be impossible for me to remember everything when rehearsing this music but what I have absorbed confirms what I felt and thought and adds invaluable sense to it. Of all the chamber music I have played in as an amateur this music has recently fascinated me the most. I love its complexity. Thank you all.

Very very interesting - thank you.

So, on the Niedermeyer way of thinking, anything with a C in the bottom is some kind of C chord? And this is like the pre-Rameau thinking, because there’s no y’all of inversions, since the bass is always the root?

Very interesting about the metrical ambiguities, tracing back to Gregorian chant. In his Impromptu no. 1, there seems to be a lot of harmonic meter fighting the melodic meter, and different meters in different parts, all tracing back to Renaissance polyphony, right?
