I love howNothing Specialis predicated on these diatonic, very simple melodies. I know you'vetalked about Bill Fayin those terms. When you say that, it's funny, because I don't think about things in terms of theory too much. But I definitely had this thing where I was like, "I want...
of course if a sharp-second interval is specifically requested by a composer, and the singer, listener are both okay with it then this rule is meant to be broken, but it is called "melodic minor" because we know that to most people a sharp-second is n...
The chord analysis above shows that B7 or B serves as the V to vi (E minor) - that's called a secondary dominant. The chord progression briefly goes into E minor before throwing in that A major, which is a nice chord to pivot back to G major on because it's b...
Correction: An earlier version of this saiddiatonicin a couple places wherechromaticwas meant. —BD Clarification: It has been pointed out that wherever Pythagoras is referenced in this episode, it would be more appropriate to reference the Pythagorean school in a larger sense, rather than credit...
It lies a chromatic semitone above F and a diatonic semitone below G, thus being enharmonic to sol bémol or G♭ (G-flat). How many notes are F-sharp? There are 7 different notes in the scale. When the scale is played, the first note is usually repeated at the end, one octave ...
Also, there's a branch off Just Intonation called Meantone temperament. Similar to Well Temperament, each pitch is usually a 'fixed' compromise so that it can be used for traditional instruments such as the piano. The main aim is to attain 'pure' thirds (at the cost of the pure fifths...
Doubleand already gives the variable I need, namelyfrequency.It is better not to change it. I will create a new class to add further functionality (i.e. mapping frequencies to keys of a MIDI keyboard).Thank you Rob and jtbandes for your input. ...
that one has a greater range when the instrument is tuned in fifths. For example, it takes a five string bass tuned in fourths to provide as many notes as you get with a four-string bass tuned in fifths. Almost all the historical discussion on these two families has dealt with the diff...
To me it just seems that each key just happens to have those sharps due to the pattern of the major scale, That is exactly the reason. When the diatonic scale is transposed to start on tonics other than C (or A for relative minor) you must make adjustments wit...
