Ich hätte da noch eine Käpt'nsquestion zum Refrain von "Wir sind die Champignons": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tTYJryNgLH8.html auf dem letzten Ton von "on and on..." des Prechorus wird die Domina um einen Ganzton nach oben verschoben und die Tonart damit "aufgefrischt". Refrain dann einen Ganzton höher als die Strophe. Kennst Du dafür Vorbilder aus der Klassik? Freddy hat sich ja gern bedient...
@en-blanc-et-noir
@en-blanc-et-noir 4 дня назад
haha, nene das strictly pop... ich meine: so ein Move ergibt ja eigentlich nur Sinn, wenn's einen Refrain gibt auf den hin man man eine bestimmte harmonische Erwartung hat, die dann hintenraus übertroffen werden soll, oder? In klassischer Musik gibts eig wenig Musik mit Refrains... folglich keinen Ganztonshift....

@@en-blanc-et-noir Ja, dachte ich auch schon. Romantisches Lied vielleicht... Aber auch im Pop ist mir keine Parallelstelle bekannt. Nur die Rückung am Ende, wenn sich der Krempel ständig wiederholt. Aber das ist was ganz anderes. Finde die Stelle schon ziemlich genial. 😇

haha how's that derived from the dies irae? That bass line 3 down / 2 up is a common thing to go for, actually one of the most significant sequential basses of them all. So to answer is: no, it doesn't need the dies irae. It is actually not even derived from sth, it's just a common default kind of thing

Sagt Dir eigentlich der "common tone diminished" was? M.W. gibt es für den Begriff im Deutschen keine Entsprechung. Deshalb wird dieser Akkord bzw. dessen Töne in deutschen Analysen gern als "Vorhalt" oder "Nebennote" verunglimpft. Kommt oft in der Romantik vor.
@en-blanc-et-noir
@en-blanc-et-noir 24 дня назад
Oh Käptn, mein Käptn :DDD ja sichi kenn ich den Begriff, finde ich auch gut. Wenn ich es recht erinnere hat Diether de la Motte in seiner Harmnoielehre auch ein paar Beispiele, ich weiß aber nicht mehr wie er den nennt... ich denke mal der Klang hat ihm aufgrund seiner eher funktionalen Perspektive Schwierigkeiten gemacht. Vermutlich erklärt er ihn trotzdem als Klang der aus chromatischen Nebennoten resultiert, alles andere ist ja auch Schnulli. Kommt oft vor, logo...

@en-blanc-et-noir
@en-blanc-et-noir 25 дней назад
Actually that's why I provided the figured bass line.. If you realize it in 4 voices you have all you need. Just in case you're asking for a Roman Numerals analyisis: IMO it makes no sense to lable a sequence with Roman Numerals because the mechanism is pretty much described through the bass line in combination with the given intervalls above. Isn't it?

@en-blanc-et-noir
@en-blanc-et-noir 27 дней назад
Liadov, how you come to Liadov? I think early Scriabin owes him more then he ever would have admitted to... Those guys actually use a a less common inversion of the Ger6+ chord where it "sits" on the 4# which I guess makes it a diminished 6/5 chord.
