Showing the superimposed waveform for each dissonant interval is pedagogical brilliance! I've learnt so much from this series even though I thought I had the basics down.

Love to hear that!!

This is the best explanation I had on music theory. It's on point and much more organised. Even the graphics are so pleasing to watch ❤.

I’m so glad you think so! Thank you so much 🤍

Great video! This is helping me understand concepts I've heard so many times yet I don't usually hear covered in a way that facilitates my understanding. I've no idea what the difficulty of creating an effect like the one at 1:53 is, but it looked quite pleasant! And I appreciate how you remind the listener now and then that what you are talking about is only the western parts of music theory and that even then it isn't something absolute when it comes to "what sounds right". Hopefully that leaves less people feeling like this is the only "right way" to create music. Music following the norms does usually sound stabler or better to most, but not do many people enjoy different experiences, and none of our brains are the same, but also the unpleasantness can be useful if harnessed with that in mind. Hope life allows you to continue on creating this channel! Have a great day!

I love this comment! Western music theory is definitely not absolute or the "correct" way to understand or create music. It's merely a tool that this part of the world uses to understand it! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

I would add that the Ives piece at 8'55" is "difficult to listen to" (I agree) not primarily because of his use of dissonances but because it has the rhythmic qualities of the noise heard at any major crosswalk in lower Manhattan (which was seemingly Ives' musical intention given the title). It is of course incontestable that the tonal dissonances reinforce the "rhythmic dissonances", making it essentially shit as a piece of music but excellent as a piece of orchestral cacophony. As you hint at beautifully, we've all experienced how dissonance used properly by master composers (classical or modern) can create the sublime in music. Thanks again for the video - FWIW, you are very good at creating this kind of content.

@MusicTheoriesChannel 8 месяцев назад

Yes, I agree! Thank you so much for your kind words!

@Krazykatman101 5 месяцев назад

great video could be more concise though but I appreciate your attention to detail

@MusicTheoriesChannel 5 месяцев назад

Cool, thanks for watching. What specifically would you like me to be more concise about?

@jurgendeblonde5003 8 месяцев назад

Very well explained and nicely illustrated. However, perhaps it should be pointed out that the so called perfect 4th and 5th isn't that perfect due to the Western tempered tuning system that had all the intervals 'corrected' so they could fit into a transposable system. It's true, in a way, that our system is based on Pythagorean findings, however, we had to deviate from his system to get to ours. If we'd actually stuck to Pythagoras' system we'd get perfect fifths and fourths (that have no beatings) that aren't necessarily transposable. If you listen (and watch) a 'perfect' fifth or fourth, you will actually see that there's destructive interference, albeit at a very slow rate.
