ATONALITY MADE EASY!

Hi all! Someone – I don’t remember who exactly - commented a while back on one of my posts that my technique/theory didn’t have enough musical examples, making it difficult to understand. In the…Continue

"Not really interested in that it seems to be revamping what many composers intuitively know and do without worrying about the mechanics and minutiae of how it’s done.
A recent thread evolved into a discussion about just this and concluded that…"

LATE BEETHOVEN: the apotheosis of counterpoint
Posted on September 23, 2011 at 3:25pm 0 Comments 2 Likes
Suffering from what I call “contrapunctitis” (you won’t find it in the medical dictionary) I am naturally biased, but I believe free counterpoint to be one of mankind’s greatest achievements. As an expressive device, it is without parallel in any other language with the possible exception of mathematics – its nearest relative. Of all its practitioners, Beethoven pips the others to the post. From the simplest diatonic devices of the earlier works through to the late fugues, no other…
ContinueNeither Schoenberg nor Hindemith really understood atonality. Did they?

A general thought dating from about 30 years ago, connected with musings on the nature of the "evolution" of musical language.

- May I ask a few Q's on your thesis?
1) Why Thomes? Why not melody... Phase I can only translate by "style", but your word is better : )
2) Why A, B and D? They seem to me, they are examples, rather than actual definitions...
3) The "coincidence"-chapter listed all possibilities of connection between Thomes and Phases (but the orders of the relativity, allow more possibilites).
4) Would you mind, sending me the Tanto Meglio score for study? I really need to understand your/your theacher's theory upon a concrete example.
I can send you a signed (+scanned) piece of paper, explaining that I will not misuse any copyright issues on your original work - As a proof for of my 'fair' purpose.
If I manage, I will send you a small piece of *my* original work, with the newtonal theory applied... (Alot of my friends, musicians and non-musicians, strive for a modern piece sounding less like Schönberg!).
I am very fond of your ideas, I do not approve 100%, but it seems to be a progress which I could not find the last time I was at our main library (in Vienna!)...
