Thank you very much for this series! It helped me a lot. Please make more videos about other forms of music.

[@fernwehn5925]

Amazing.

I can’t wait for more! :D

Will you cover the Bourree and Passipied at some point? Also, I feel more of a duple meter in the Beethoven’s Ninth Scherzo than 3/4, 12/8, or anything similar. Each measure feels either accented or unaccented, like the beats of a 2/4 measure.

Thank you so much for this invaluable resource on classical music education and history. I only wish my early violin teachers were so informed! I would be so much more interested if they were able to answer my questions as to why so many of my Suzuki Violin music was called Minuet or Gavotte.

I love your Gigue - elements of Art of Fugue there

[@francobonanni3499]

All very interesting. Could you please make a video on the pavan's. I would like to try to compose a Pavan's gut I would like to know more thank you so much.

You say that 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8 are all derivatives of 3/8. I don’t really agree with that interpretation. Instead my preferred interpretation is this: Any compound meter in a multiple of 3, divide the top by 3 and the bottom by 2 and you have your time signature derivation. It’s basically implicit triplets. I like this interpretation, because it doesn’t just apply to the Gigue and some Scherzos, but also much more tranquil pieces, like the nocturnes of Chopin and John Field. As an example, Nocturne no. 1 in Eb by John Field. It’s in 12/8, as is Chopin’s Nocturne in Eb. And in both, I would say that it is basically 4/4 time with implicit triplets.
