I studied music at college and I’ve never heard of this term before. Thanks for the insight

[@MusicMattersGB]

Certainly worth studying

[@NikhilHoganShow]

Thanks for examining Music Schema, Gareth!

[@MusicMattersGB]

A pleasure

[@cliveaitkenhead]

Found a website with a pdf of some other schemas divided by application and 'Partimenti Prototypes' in a search engine will find it. What an interesting subject.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Very interesting

[@millypokusikoo8531]

Can you share the website with us?

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Gareth has many videos discussing schemas and giving many examples. I’ve used them in practice, transposing them into other keys. My piano teacher encourages me to continue.

@lawrencetaylor4101 😀

[@johnfowler3125]

Music channels don’t seem to have many videos about this lol. thank you so much.

I've recently started studying Partimento and schemas with my instructor and it's been eye opening. I feel like it's a great tool for efficiently composing sections of a piece by focusing on textures instead of individual notes. I especially like the schemas that gradually walk up or down the scale, such as the Romanesca, since they can help gradually modulate to interesting new keys.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Absolutely

[@jayducharme]

Fascinating! I'd never heard of schema. The modulating Prinner seems like it could be really useful. That was an imperceptible transition.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Yes. They’re useful

[@johnmac8084]

First I've heard of this Gareth, thank you, very interesting 😀

[@MusicMattersGB]

Glad it’s useful.

[@charlezpontez1726]

Excellent video!

[@MusicMattersGB]

Glad it’s helpful. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for much more.

[@rchandos]

Fascinating! First example schema: Mozart Jupiter symphony,

Merci beaucoup.

There's a music store in the North West called Music Matters!

[@MarketGarden87]

So in that first example, it’s okay for the leading tone to ignore going to C because it leaps up a fifth?

[@MusicMattersGB]

Absolutely

[@ziaudeensadroodeen4180]

Sir, is VIIb - I a cadence? If yes, what type of cadence is that?

[@MusicMattersGB]

Officially no but VIIb is a replacement for V7 so it effectively acts as a perfect cadence.

[@tobiasshklover2006]

Schemas vs Partimento?

[@MusicMattersGB]

Good question. Both useful and of course related. We could cover the latter.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

Partimento is a bass line, sometimes with figured bass, mostly used as harmony exercises.

[@Natyelvertonmusictuition]

The two are intimately related in the Neapolitan school.

[@MusicMattersGB]

@Natyelvertonmusictuition Absolutely

[@keyscook]

Isn't a Schema a type of rash / Dermatitis ? I went from Broke-style to Destitute. I think that Taylor Swift is popular in writing Period pieces... - okay, a chuckle for the day...

[@MusicMattersGB]

😀

[@superblondeDotOrg]

The sooner music academia discards roman numerals as useless misinformation, and returns to the true method of composing, using figured bass and partimento, the better.

[@MusicMattersGB]

That’s a view shared by some others.

[@edubs9828]

Never heard of a partimento. (I'm not in music school.)

[@superblondeDotOrg]

@@edubs9828 that is the irony: the true authentic method is not even known, not even in music school. Instead the made-up non-working method is taught instead of inversions and chords named by roots. Exactly opposite of what CPE Bach himself and all others state quite plainly.

[@fr33flight]

Then again, figured bass struggles to notate complex chords involving b9ths, 13ths, and so on.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

@@GaryWayneMyers root analysis, roman numeral analysis, inversions, is misinformation, that is why. It is wrong, invalid theory. It leads to deadends. It is not authentic or historically accurate either. KZbin will probably censor this comment because youtube ai does that with almost all my replies now.
