Gabriel, I loved your video! You speak very well, displaying a lot of calm, confidence, and patience. The video is superbly edited, and, most importantly, what an incredible insight! Really, I had never thought about that before. We usually think of melody in relative terms. Just the other day, I watched a video where someone commented that a single note means nothing, and after watching your video, I definitely rethought this concept! Moreover, each timbre is unique, and every single note, played by a specific timbre, creates a different combination of notes, or at least that’s what I understood. For instance, the C note on a guitar is not made up of the same notes as the C note on a piano. Recently, I was reading about how Rousseau, for example, also contributed to developing music theory and had his own notation systems. It made me think about how interesting it is to develop our own ways of thinking about music, analyzing music, our own theories. Gabriel, there's a genius named "Madi Nurkanov" whom I'm sure will be talked about a lot. If you're interested, he has a composition named "Gabriella" which I find fantastic. Anyway, I've spoken with him a few times, and I've noticed he has his own music theories. As someone who also composes (though not much in classical music), I'm always trying to understand melodic patterns, name specific sequences, and build up my theoretical archive in this sense, besides understanding my own music and that of others. I aim to understand why things sound the way they do, how I can combine certain instruments in ways I've never heard anywhere else but still make sense, etc., and I jot everything down in various Google Keep notes. I wonder if this is common among musicians, as I don't know any personally, but I find it rare to come across people on KZbin with original theories, unique insights, and analyses that deviate from academic content, so I was thrilled to find your channel!

Having watched the “Swan Lake” several times, I found your commentary eye-opening (or, should I say, ear-expanding): from grounding and exploring to hoping that mark the yellow duckling’s path to becoming a fully fledged white (or black) swan. How interesting! Thank you Gabriel.
