You may noticed at those long drawn-out pinnacles, the notes follow the pattern of C - A - A. Schuman loved hiding messages in his music, so it is not an uncommon belief that he hid the name of his beloved bride Clara in this piece (C - l - A - r - A). It is almost as if even in his most simple and child-like of dreams, his calling her name wells out so naturally and all of time seems to freeze when she comes to thought. Simply gorgeous. It has rightly earned a place of Schuman's most famous piece.
these sorts of videos are always so captivating to watch. i'm always so impressed with how you're able to apply your knowledge on theory to so many different pieces! i hope to someday be able to replicate this in my own ways, regardless if i post it to youtube or not. thank you always for these videos!
I love these videos. Do you think you could analyze the first few minutes of Mahler 9 next? It sounds so beautiful and I wanted to know what it looks like from a harmonic perspective
There is a video of Horowitz playing this song to a Russian audience during the repression of the Soviet Union and it pans to an older man in the audience listening intently with tears falling down his face.
@@worldmusictheory Oh dang mask's off you're next level fascistic propagandized! To any else who may see this, even a quick google search will tell you that "Jewish Bolshevism" is one of many unfortunately persisting myths created by the actual Nazi's used to justify their WWII invasion! Another lovely example here of anti-left sentiment and propaganda showing its true face (open apathy towards actual poverty and open hatred towards other ethnic groups). Enjoy the Schumann.

Good question. Simply put, I was taught that way and I find it easier to identify. The problem with my form of notation is that figured bass isn't actually separated from the Roman numerals so some might find it confusing to call it a V chord and see different notes. I'm still considering changing my practice to V64 though but we'll see.
@@skylarlimex i mean it functions as a dominant chord right? It's dissonant because the bass note is a fourth apart from the next higher note. We write V64 because the third and fifth are elevated by one step. The chord is (as usual) followed by a regular V35 (with an added 7.) The 4 steps down to 3 and the 6 steps down to 5, and it's still a V chord. For figured bass we would just write 64 because figured bass always counts from the bass note, and the bass note here is the 5th step in the F-major scale.
