I have an idea for a video concept, you are such a scholar I am sure you will be able to explain how composers manage to develop their ideas. I'm sure I'm not original in being able to produce a lot of ideas like melodies or a series of chords, but what to do with this idea? how to develop it? how to play with imitations or harmonic accompaniment to make this idea charismatic. I am sure that with examples offered by Beethoven Chopin or Mozart you could teach us very interesting things. Thank you very much for your courses which are of an enormous richness.

Hi, I-m a professional musician from Venezuela. Is very offensive that my access to your web is forbidden with a message informing that is due to I live in a country with -US sanctions-. Why kind of idiot blocked the access for this reason? Those sanctions are not related to common residents of Venezuela at all.

Its common for classical composers to modulate to the Dominant V chord Key. Example if the song is in the key of C its common to modulate to the dominant V chord key of G major. What were the reasons why classical composers modulated to the dominant V chord key, any reasons why?

I'm a bit confused about the chord at 10:36. Isn't it a chord VII in D major? There is no A and when you play the notes close together it's a diminished chord i.e. chord 7? Or can it only be chord V-7 because that's what makes it into a secondary dominant? Thanks

A question for you .. you are highly analytical. Analysis is logic. Logic is basic, belongs to basic consciousness. To what extent do you imagine classical composers took flight into realms higher than basic logic when composing, rather than dwelling in logic ?

Would love to hear about some cinematic/theatrical harmonic ideas like from Wagner, Strauss. For example the Loge leitmotif, like how you fit chromaticism inside rapidly changing harmonies.

Composers like Brahms, never composed by techniques, they composed what they heard in their brains, this video is about analysis how they did composed a classical piece.

Aside from the first A nd B, the basic idea of measures 2&3 look like retrograde inversion (B-up to E down to D) looks very much like the opening statement.

Very interesting analysis! Looking at that first page it also strikes me that it's all the middle of the keyboard, like most of Schumann's piano music.

Something about this piece reminds me of Queen! Please do an analysis of a Freddy Mercury song, Bohemian Rhapsody would be fantastic!
