Awesome videos! Every musician should watch those! I'm so happy and grateful for your dedication to share all this knowledge with us! Thank you so much!
Thank you - this was possibly the most fulfilling video to make out of any - I remember walking around Central Park in NYC for hours trying to put these thoughts into coherent words. So it's really nice of you to say that.
Nope. By making anything mandatory, you produce general disgust towards it in people, especially children. They won't learn a thing and the popularity of classical music will remain the same.
@@InsidetheScore I'm attending a college and required to watch this video for a 150-200 word paragraph describing music. This video was really well put together and I can see why my teacher recommended it.
Music history was mind-numbingly dull and incomprehensible when I was trying to get a music degree 50 years ago. Life would have been different if teachers like you would have been available. Thanks you deserve a wide audience.
The number of subscribers someone has, has really no bearing on the qualities of a person-good or evil, intelligent or less so, brutish or refined, etc. It's just a "pop" thing... Its a lot of bells and whistles, knowing what most people want to see, and how they want to see it, plus doing all the video editing, getting higher quality equipment, etc. Those who have the most subscribers on TH-cam are generally those who project (whether an "act" or something more real) qualities like silliness, fun, trendiness, mischief, the reinforcement of "memes" and more widespread current mannerisms, etc., various juvenile behaviors, impersonations, pranks, etc., TH-cam "drama", "hard to believe" sorts of videos, etc.-cheap, crass, lowest common denominator "entertainment" basically, rather than more ennobling and truly meaningful content... So it's kind of not really all that important, but money is great, so...
I came across these videos RANDOMLY on TH-cam, but oh boy I'm glad I found them. They are very well done, well written guide on classical music which teach me so much about this forgotten art form. Thank you for your great work! Keep it up!
I've been trying to write new music for the past 3 months and I've been failing, to be honest. After watching this video and with tears in my eyes, I have to say that I know what and why I want to write. I don't know if I'll be able to, but I found a direction, right here. Thank you.
Would you ever consider uploading a classical piece with application from this lecture? Whether that means using words on the screen or your voice as guidance throughout it? Thank you for your contribution to keeping classical music alive.
Profound and transcendent! Thanks so much for expressing what we all feel. My favourite line from this video: "...art is one of the most powerful forms of emotional education." Nailed it!
Music is not art unless one can visualize music - which not everyone can, and those for who do so, then music can become an art. However, Music in is itself is euphony, it is aural, yet it is medicinal unlike art. I’ve found nothing medicinal or healing in art but music I have found healing and empathy.
One of my favourite expressions is in Tchaikovsky's act 2 pas de deux in Swan Lake when a violin and cello duet is used to express when Odette reciprocates Siegfried's love. It's like a conversation
Well done. It's worth noting, that it's worth while learning music, not learning an instrument, just learning to read music from the staff, helps enormously in understanding harmony.
All these videos are great, especially the way you so clearly and eloquently talk about music. I'm going to recommend these videos to some of my students!
This video is fantastic. I've never heard someone try to really dig into why classical music does what it does. It's something that (as you noted) is incredibly difficult to put into words. Really makes me wonder what that book goes into. If I was to try to describe the feeling of classical music to people, I would probably jump to show them my favorite scenes from different movies. They admit yeah that scene is awesome. Without the score... not so much. With that in mind, I tell them that classical music is a sort of medium where I can take something that has happened in my life and edit it into my own sort of imaginative movie using the music as a road map. With movies, they all have a score that complements the scene perfectly. It acts as the underlying monologue which constantly foreshadows what is to come or applies the emotional context to the scene without even having seen what will happen yet. With classical music, the script can be written by me. It doesn't even have to be something exactly in my life, but just anything that elicits emotion from me. Even if Swan Lake has a ballet that already accompanies it, I can still freely write my own script over it. This is different from most contemporary music, where there is a lot more imposed upon what the accompanying "movie" should be. The very addition of lyrics already restricts what the music can represent. Thanks so much for the videos. It has really got me thinking.
It took me a while to learn to divorce a score from the picture. I don't know why, I always used to imagine a movie in my head when listening to Classical. And then feel like 'no, this music doesn't really work, it's not filmic enough'. Now I think of it like this flowing, moving channel of emotional ebb and flow which we can emotionally tap into and metaphorically move/dance alongside. It's an abstract emotional journey - there's not necessarily any 'plot' or story or anything at all. It's just an emotional journey for the sake of the journey.
If you want another good illustration of the power of music, watch Disney's Fantasia (the 1940s one). It's entirely built around creating visuals for the music and can be quite 'plotless' because lf it. But it's rich, vibrant and full of all kinds of movement, textures and colours. Although it was made by master animators, this was all based on the musical pieces. This goes to show how rich they are. And yes, I agree that classical can allow you a lot more freedom in experiencing ot your own way. But in a sense that is inherent in all instrumental music that isn't associated with lyrics in any way. The message is in the music, not in the language of the vocals (but sometimes in their tone).
These videos are great. Often in musical education I find that the concept of movement and the phrasing that comes with it is lost, which results the great majority of young music students quitting or not developing further than a score-reading machine. I will recommend this video to all my friends who might want to get into classical music. Great job!
This series is FANTASTIC. I teach music history in a more contemporary music school as well as music appreciation, and these are SO helpful! Thank you!
Watching Black Swan in Theaters is what made me fully realize the power of Swan Lake, I was literally in tears at the end of that movie, not because of the plot, but because the music was so powerful and was so well utilized in that movie that the pure emotion felt was overwhelming. So to get people in to classical I tell them to watch Black Swan and feel the music. Cheers.
Probably one of my favorite videos of all time⭐ i activley felt the music in this video and you descriptions changed my whole perspective on Classical music, emotional education, intuitive exercise, sympathetic dance...just Wow thank you so much💛🐉
i love how you put that music at the end. when you came to the conclusion that we listen to music as simply being i was immensly fascinated and thought how beautiful emotion is. like the world opens through music, like you just walked into a space you were looking for
There is no available classes for such things in my country so I'm following my passion here , thank you this was very enlightening sir you just opened a door i never thought existed
Goodness THANK YOU for making this series! I'm a visual artist who adores music, using it a vehicle to calm my anxious brain, daydream, and jumpstart my creativity. I tend to gravitate towards new age instrumentals over traditional classical music and recently, well, I learned just how reviled my favorite type of music is in the classical world. Reading comments like "*Popular new age instrumentalist* is McDonald's garbage for smooth brains. They're so BORING like beige wallpaper." has made me doubt why I loved it in the first place. Music is such an integral part of my life and while I'd love to gain a deeper connection to classical music, the vitriol often hurled from classical purists soured my pursuit of understanding it. Plus, while my father played all the classics when I was little, a lot of it sounded so stodgy and rigid that most of it never resonated with me. The repetitive, meditative nature of new age instrumentals (the very reason for all the hatred) is exactly what I find so interesting and appealing. That's why I appreciate your passionate, sympathetic approach to explaining why classical music resonates with you. Instead of trashing others' musical tastes, you graciously open the door and take us on a journey into an often misunderstood world of music. Thank you.
The piece that always does this for me is the prologue to Il Pagliacci. A good baritone actor can make the piece feel playful, dramatic, and just beautiful.
This is truly remarkable! I’m just beginning to discover classical music and this channel is just what I was looking for to help me approach. This video was moving for me and makes me very excited to discover and enter into more of this music. Thank you so much!
I was listening to the first couple of minutes thinking "This sounds exactly like what Roger Scruton would say", then his great book on Aesthetics of Music flashes up on the screen. Im going to have to watch all these videos now.
I've searching for a channel that can help me understand music for so long. I love classical music more than anything but I failed to dig in deep, so thank you ♥
Congratulations for introducing Roger Scruton to a bigger audience. He's written many marvelous articles on Music that they may be interested to look up : The Tyranny of Pop, Music as a Civilizing Force, David Matthews at 70, Reflections On Deaths in Venice, My Mozart, Review of Richard Taruskin. All his books are liberally sprinkled with observations on Music ( perhaps my favourite is I Drink Therefore I Am). Have you read Taruskin's 4-volume History of Western Music ?
Im here because i really never knew how to listen to classical music. Until recently i met a music teacher and classical music was played in the radio. He explained to me that every piece is actually a story being told. And a dialogue between the different instruments. I was intrigued...
That was very illuminating , I've been listening to classical music for years and I never knew how to explain the emotions I feel or why I feel them , Thank you very very very much
I truly and deeply appreciate the time and effort you put through these videos. And as a Classical music lover, it's unbelievabley fascinating for me to watch your videos. Thanks a lot❤️
man, you're brilliant. I was always a bit scared of classical, but I now want to give it a better chance also because I think it could help me making better music. Thanks for the very instructive and inspiring videos!
Wooow you're the rock!! Love your metaphors, your musical descriptions... my classical musical taste have just increased tons!!! Can't I thank you enough!! I subscribed!!
Thank you for another wonderful video, explaining much more in detail about emotion and how we express it through music. The suggestions on tension were spot on and has led me to understand how it can be expressed in music much more than I knew. Also you showed me a couple songs that I haven't heard before, yet still recognized because of other musicians taking inspiration from them.
Wow! As a classical musician I just thought I want to create a video of how to listen to classical music in my channel and I found this. It is simply beautifully explained! Thanks a lot, it really inspired me!
Great as this video is, I find that it misses one thing that is central to the experience of beauty. It is the concept of _anticipation_ . Although the video mentions it in a word or two, I think that'Inside the Score' is not aware of this aspect of music. For that, read the two books of David Huron: 'Sweet Anticipation' and 'Voice Leading'. If the insights of David Huron would have been added to this brilliant video, so that a _complete_ picture of what music does to is would have emerged.
Man..Thank you so much for such amazing explanations and your vivid view on classical masterpieces of great ones. "Music is to feel not to listen or hear". it's transcendent. Much love from India. :)
One of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever seen. I’m a classical trainer pianist, and your video captured “it.” That thing I want to share with my friends and family who don’t understand.
I'm 17 year-old and I want to go to med school but also music is a big part of my life and I'm so into classic music . I'm trying to learn piano and your videos are great help for me so thanks a lot. P.S: sorry for my bad English
Hi I tried listening to swan lake but I just couldn’t finish the song because it gave me goosebumps and a major eargasm. Thank u for teaching me to listen intently. Although I already do but I felt a deep connection. Ok I’ll try one more time lol. Cheers
I'm trying this journey of classical music as I never got deep into it (though I appreciated a few pieces, just naturally). I always really enjoyed music though. I was always more interested in the music than the lyrics and have felt all those things you are describing, so I can't say it's unique to classical music. (I really enjoy prog, rock, metal, darkwave and video games soudtracks like elder scrolls to name a few). Can't wait to learn more about classical music :) thanks!
Thanks for this amazing philosophical reflection. For the moment this is my favorite video by you. The relation that you show between music movement and tension with body movement through the feelings is brilliant. I think it teaches to us the essence of art as vehicle for emotions.
Great video! The only other genre of music I've heard of classical being compared to is certain types of rock. This explains why classical and certain forms of rock music I enjoy are so similar. They both rely "chiefly on movement, forces, and musical arguments of their tones to express" themselves. Awesome job explaining the concepts!
I think the best kind of rock (or metal) truly has something to say through it's *musical* forces, not just through the lyrics. The music is saying something. I used to be a big fan of Metallica's older stuff, from the Black Album backwards
@@InsidetheScore definitely! I was hesitant to post because I thought I might get alot of backlash from classical purists, but I really do see the things you discussed in lesser known genres of rock like metal and heavy metal. Ive always been more attracted to the genius of music composition you described in the video, and that helps me understand better why I've never really liked pop music all that much. The lyrics have always been secondary to me, and musical story telling has always been at the forefront. I dont know if you're familiar but I'd recommend Periphery and Fall of Troy music if you want to check out some of the classical qualities in metal. And Coheed and Cambria's first 4 albums from the progressive rock genre. Perhaps you'll even make a video about classical structures in rock one day!
@@juliopenaloza5655 Haha I used to love Coheed and Cambria as a teenager. Haven't listened to them in years and years though. Was thinking of doing one on Metallica's collaboration with San Fran Symphony Orchestra some day
This channel is pure gold! I'm happy I have discovered it, you express every opinion in such a spot on, transparent and thoughtful way and I cannot but agree and relate to all you say. Also I find yours to be a noble cause to spread awareness and knowledge on the lost art of classical music, which is something we need to preserve and treasure. Bravo!
@Inside the Score, you couldn't have chosen a better score to end your wonderful Video: Ma mère l'Oye from Ravel's Le jardin féerique. Your Videos are superb, thanks from my heart !!!!
Nicely explained 👏🏽👏🏽😇👍🏾The thing which WE can't bound in the words and on paper are the things which gives life to it ....We can try to understand by patterns but it is far more beyond ....
Awesome videos! Every musician should watch those! I'm so happy and grateful for your dedication to share all this knowledge with us! Thank you so much!
Thank you! This one is one of my favourites. I loved making it - I'm glad you're enjoying them!
@@InsidetheScorewhat piece is it? 6:11? The Debussy one? Please tell me 🥺
"Music can't be literally heavy"
Books of sheet music: *smirks*
oh.. ughhhhhhh XDDD
Sheet music isnt MUSIC though
@@livb6945 I mean its sheet "music" so...
When you emotionally connect, you are the only person in the universe, it's sublime.
I love the way he expresses the theory so artfully
Thank you - this was possibly the most fulfilling video to make out of any - I remember walking around Central Park in NYC for hours trying to put these thoughts into coherent words. So it's really nice of you to say that.
This channel should be mandatory curriculum at every high school and university

I burst to tears when you described the climax of tchaikovsky's swan lake at 7:44

Someone who really loves music
God the score to The Last of Us was great, first time I’d heard a fragment of it in over a year and still gave me chills.
When he plays the 2nd movement concerto for flute and harp by Mozart, i can't help but relax and paying much attention to the piece
One of my favourite expressions is in Tchaikovsky's act 2 pas de deux in Swan Lake when a violin and cello duet is used to express when Odette reciprocates Siegfried's love. It's like a conversation

I was always more interested in the music than the lyrics and have felt all those things you are describing, so I can't say it's unique to classical music. (I really enjoy prog, rock, metal, darkwave and video games soudtracks like elder scrolls to name a few). Can't wait to learn more about classical music :) thanks!
Amazing! I'm so glad you shared this, I've learned so much and I'm ready for a concert I'm going for next year☺️❤️
I wouldn’t want to live in a world without music.
Bro, thank you for this video. I appreciate the time and effort you put towards this.
Thanks for this amazing philosophical reflection. For the moment this is my favorite video by you. The relation that you show between music movement and tension with body movement through the feelings is brilliant. I think it teaches to us the essence of art as vehicle for emotions.
thank you for sharing , your video is such a beautiful way to explain about listening to such rich music .
Very informative video. Thank you for your great effort in creating this video.
Wow, I didn't think I'd be tearing up watching this video when I clicked on it! Great work and thank you.
Such a beautiful way of describing music. Just brilliant-thank you much for putting together this series!!
Great video! The only other genre of music I've heard of classical being compared to is certain types of rock. This explains why classical and certain forms of rock music I enjoy are so similar. They both rely "chiefly on movement, forces, and musical arguments of their tones to express" themselves. Awesome job explaining the concepts!
I think the best kind of rock (or metal) truly has something to say through it's *musical* forces, not just through the lyrics. The music is saying something. I used to be a big fan of Metallica's older stuff, from the Black Album backwards
@@InsidetheScore definitely! I was hesitant to post because I thought I might get alot of backlash from classical purists, but I really do see the things you discussed in lesser known genres of rock like metal and heavy metal.
Ive always been more attracted to the genius of music composition you described in the video, and that helps me understand better why I've never really liked pop music all that much. The lyrics have always been secondary to me, and musical story telling has always been at the forefront.
I dont know if you're familiar but I'd recommend Periphery and Fall of Troy music if you want to check out some of the classical qualities in metal. And Coheed and Cambria's first 4 albums from the progressive rock genre.
Perhaps you'll even make a video about classical structures in rock one day!
@@juliopenaloza5655 Haha I used to love Coheed and Cambria as a teenager. Haven't listened to them in years and years though.
Was thinking of doing one on Metallica's collaboration with San Fran Symphony Orchestra some day
these videos have shown me the light - thank you!
I always wanted to find a channel like this one.. Thank you 🙏🏼
This channel is pure gold! I'm happy I have discovered it, you express every opinion in such a spot on, transparent and thoughtful way and I cannot but agree and relate to all you say. Also I find yours to be a noble cause to spread awareness and knowledge on the lost art of classical music, which is something we need to preserve and treasure. Bravo!
@Inside the Score, you couldn't have chosen a better score to end your wonderful Video: Ma mère l'Oye from Ravel's Le jardin féerique.
Your Videos are superb, thanks from my heart !!!!
I love this series so much thank you 💜
:D So glad you're enjoying them, makes it worthwhile - more videos coming this week, do subscribe if you're enjoying
you have opened my mind to the art generally and music particularly, thanks very much.
Wow! Thanks so much, means a lot - I hope you continue listening and exploring
Inside the Score my pleasure, I will
Nicely explained 👏🏽👏🏽😇👍🏾The thing which WE can't bound in the words and on paper are the things which gives life to it ....We can try to understand by patterns but it is far more beyond ....
I love how the video ends, with a tension and a release
This video is a masterpiece.
Thank you for this wonderful video, helping me appreciating classical, and other musical genres :)
Great video! Your effort is appreciated. I'm glad to have seen your content.
I have a friend who always tries to make me love classic music, that's why I'm here
THANK YOU - your sparkle has motivated me to do just as you say... " I
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
