Principles of Music: Rhetoric Part III 

Great video again! I love the calm stile, the simplistic animations, and of course the interesting topics. I think everyone has heard some kind of these rhetorical devices and is (maybe unconsciously) aware of their existence. But we rarely think about them in this categorized and analytical way when we aren't giving them names and exact definitions. But this active awareness of the rhetorical devices and their distinction from others is such an interesting thing for both (learning) composers and musicologists! One thing that occurred to me was that I see the anadiplosis and the epizeuxis often connected: The phrase ends with a seemingly unimportant set of notes. These notes are then repeated in a kind of searching/improvisatory way, often separated by rests and then they are developed to a fully new theme. Does this have a name too? If it is unclear what I mean, I'll try to provide examples, but generally, I'm thinking of later romantic (often piano) works utilizing this rhetorical device.

This channel is one of the best out there

thank you for helping me to better understand the music i love.

I'm really enjoying this music series!

Great stuff! You have a grasp on a lot of different subjects!

As for Geminatio/Epizeuxis, as E. A. Poe said: bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells. You'll note his repetition of the word 'bells'.

Golden stuff

Thank you sir!

I am tuned

What a wonderful channel. Could you make a video on how amateur musicians and can get into it and befin experimenting? Techniques, tips, ideas, methods, etc.? I know this is more "basic" than what you generally do but there are so many amateur players I know (incl. myself) who would like to get into composing but don't really know where to start.

Would you consider the repetition of the Fate Motif at the beginning of the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony to be a rhythmic Geminatio that has been melodically altered to add tension?

So what would the difference between Geminatio and Epizeuxis be?

Could you explain the characteristics of the madrigals? Would be amazing if you could explain the devices used to express certain emotions like whispers/suspiro

Isn't a Geminatio just the Galant schemata known as the "Ponte"?

Ok, so what about the repetitions in Glass' music? :D
