Impromptu - For Messiaen Quartet (2024) by Jared E. Davis
Impromptu (2024)
This piece was written as an improvisation on paper. The past few years I have been deeply involved in Atonal improvisation. So much so, I wrote a book on it called “Atonal Improvisation and Jazz”. I approached the composition of this piece in the exact same manner as I would have approached an improvisation on my instrument. I thought of a starting note and structure, and improvised from that on paper with ideas from the book. The piece, like an improvisation, is not perfect, but what I wrote is what I wrote, and it cannot be changed.
Approximate duration: 7 minutes
Performed by Unheard-of Ensemble
Clarinet - Ford Fourqurean
Violin - Matheus Souza
Cello - Iva Casian-Lakoš
Piano - Daniel Anastasio
on June 6, 2024 at the Agarita Loft in San Antonio, Texas.

It's probably safer to say that it's the attack that is better articulated with the fingers, but not impossible. Also, players that use a pick wouldn't be as likely to come up with those types of ideas because they're not as comfortable with a pick, like 3 nps ideas. Still, that doesnt mean they're impossible, just like the creator of the video demonstrates.
He can do it twice faster and cleaner on a classical guitar without any effort. I don’t understand why people try to emulate him so much… he’s on another level do your own thing. He has just something more which is not achievable with mere practice.

@@jareddavismusic ok bro. Playing his lines is seriously easier than having a conversation with you. Wtf is that link? You flex a video where you can’t even play with the right accents sounding like a middle-schooler. If you really can’t hear the difference go play video games or other stuff honestly music is not your thing. Thinking about music as a competition is literally the worst thing you can do. And by the way you really look obsessed with him. You have 7 shorts and 2 of them are about you trying to convince yourself that he’s not doing anything special. Have a nice one
double the pace and you proved them wrong
But eddis booouncy
Wouldn't it sound better if you hybrid picked these lines? Yes I know, you're just trying to prove that it can be done with JUST a pick. But I think if you were to replicate it like he does, a hybrid picking technique could achieve the same level of clarity and syncopation. Just because it is possible doesn't mean it's the best option; you look like you're having a hard time keeping the time whereas Matteo looks beyond comfortable in his demonstration. It's hard to say that this is a good job because personally, if I spent enough time trying to prove Matteo wrong, I could do the same lick with just a pick, rushing it, and making it sound not like music but just noise, just to say it can be done. Perhaps if you spend even longer, trying to master this one lick, you could clean it up, slowing the tempo, etc. But I feel like Matteo's picking technique is still superior since there's almost no fuss and just pure rhythm and a solid conveyance of musicality with his technique. I also think Matteo wasn't trying to be literal because if he wanted to, I'm sure he could just add multiple string picks (polyphonic phrases) in and around his arpeggio making it literally impossible (without the use of hybrid picking).

Its sound Bouncy and not smooth, u can play with a pick but u wont have the same smoothness and feel.
Wow where did you come up with that? Was it an original thought?
th-cam.com/users/shortsc3BOqKzEKEA?si=vzO37dLvA83hHmPX
You didn't get to the speed he got to. You cut it before the last part that he meant. He plays it ultra fast.
So what? It’s only slightly faster not “super fast”. It’s not difficult to increase speed of a passage if the technique is good.
wow you are as good as matteo. there. isnt this what you wanted?
LOL No, you have completely missed the point

Why are you reading other people’s Bb transcriptions tho
why not?
You’ve dispelled my doubts. Kudos dude, this is awesome.
I appreciate that thank you 🙏
This is super impressive. But Matteo is playing it slowly here. The pick max speed is Matteo’s slowed-down-so-you-can-hear-it speed.
Thank you, but also Why does that matter?
Nice, but it is bouncy
lol
You’re killin! Glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much!! 😊
That's absolutely incredible that you can play that with a pick haha. But I think it would be impossible to match the speed and smoothness that is possible with fingerstyle playing. You played that about as well as is humanly possible with a pick but it sounds very forced and unnatural. Matteo sounds effortless and calm and faster.
You should watch the new one with a clean tone and side by side comparison
You disproved your thesis real quick at the end there. Cut that out!
It is just one example. There are many ways to use the theory. If you don’t like it, make your own example
@@jareddavismusichey I just wanna say I was being a jerk in my comment. This is a cool idea.
@@DaMonster Thank you for saying that. ❤️ I believe it’s very important that musicians choose to support each other rather than put each other down.

@@robertn2951 lol Thanks
The line played with the pick is the same notes, but sounds not remotely as smooth. It doesn't contradict Beato, although I do think Roy Marchbank might be able to get it closer, because he's the smoothest speed picker on Earth. But for a normal person to match Mancuso's smooth speed, I'll just say I'm not holding my breath.
It’s not a competition.
@@jareddavismusic Thanks for your brilliant "insight", but I was merely addressing the question you tried to answer with the video; is it possible to play the same line with a pick. If you can't stand to see people comparing two performances of the same notes, maybe don't post videos where the whole point was to compare two performances. Duh. 🙄
@@Gregorypeckory Did you watch the newer video with a clean tone comparison?
Wonderful. This is a great explanation and I didn't know he used Slonimsky Thesaurus. I love these types of movements in music by thirds, there's so much you can do with a freakin' third I mean who knew? When I was looking at the chord changes and it first hit me that all the different chords when seperated by their qualities are all a major third apart I seriously had my mind blown. Isn't it crazy how music theory is such a sound puzzle in so many ways? Everything just fits, that's why I love music. Then of course beyond the theory, music sounds great!
Also for anyone frustrated with remembering Messiaen mode No.3 on the fly, I just think of it as a major 7 add 9 chord with a Minor triad add 4 starting from the minor 3rd. So Messiaen mode No.3 on B would be a B major 7 add 9 (B, Db, Eb, Gb, Bflat) smashed together with a D minor add 4 (D, F,G,A) all in the space of one octave. Quick trick I thought of.
Thank you! I’m happy you like it:) There are so many cool things to discover in music and in GS! I think it’s best to think of mode 3 as 3 tetra chords of whole-half-half, that are a major third away. But yeah it’s also cool to see what other kinds of structures you can separate it into!
@@jareddavismusic right after I watched this one I watched a video on the Messiaen modes and I realized they were patterns and was like 😬 shoot that comment probably seems silly now.
@@milofonz7505 Not silly at all. It’s interesting to see how you thought if it not knowing it was a symmetrical scale! Almost like thinking of all 12 chromatic notes as a major scale and a pentatonic together
Well, you are right in this case. But in general you can do more when playing with fingers than with a pick. Which makes sense, because you actually have 5 picks when playing with fingers.
5 is definitely more than 1, I don’t like having long fingernails personally.
No, the 5 fingers are not equal to one pick, since you cannot alternate easily (except for some bass thumb techniques). Matteo needs to use 3 fingers to play 3NPS scales as fast as a pick.
Nice
These are some of the dumbest people on the planet I swear. Distortion actually makes playing clean harder in some cases and rarely makes anything easier and compression is not cheating. These people need another lobotomy because the first one was obviously half assed
lol 😂
Sounds like gradius music
