Listening to these type of videos (ones that break down harmonisation of romance classical composers) helps me understand it’s influence in Joe Hisaishi’s work and understand his style.
Great video! I personally dislike using suspensions in the bass because I always find it sounds awkward and it often sounds more like a clunky change of harmony rather than an actual suspension. But as you said, it’s ultimately all up to our own aesthetic decisions.
@@skylarlimex I agree! 9-8 (or 2-1 I suppose?) in the bass of a minor chord makes such a crunchy sound!! I suppose one just have to pick when to do what ;)
It's cool to see how differently you can harmonically interpret the melody. When I tried the harmonization, I modulated to a minor through the dominant E major chord (with the D# suspensions), and used a falling bass where the repeated Cs were to modulate back to a G major cadence. It sounded almost exactly like something Schumann would write when I played it on the piano.
Thank you for the great video. I think in the last part, turning the suspensions into the main motif takes the focus off the melody. So I prefer not to do it, or at least not to do it in all of the voices.
Could you recommend literature to firther learn this style? Your videos allow me a glimpse behind the curtain and now I can’t stop wanting to compose more like this
Here s a bla bla theres no mathematically rules in harmony lets assume 10 people will harmonise this sequence will they come with the same harmonic result? NO if i ask 5 plus 5 what it makes 1million people will answer 10 in harmony theres no rules we just come close but cannot hit. Im composer i know what Im saying

i think not many people realise how much today's music is greatly influenced by the works and techniques of the past
@@skylarlimex could you do a video on Joe Hisiashi or harmonising like Japanese composers
@@indianruckus6412 i'll think about it

i get what you mean but they do sound quite effective in some cases e.g D suspension in the bass with c minor in the top

Thats a very nice format. Please more of these!
Love this! Phenomenal content. So quick, pedagogical and instructive!
These are so good, your channel is a goldmine
Thanks a lot!
beautifully explained and produced. Thank you for making this video, I look forward to more of this. Thank you!
You`re awesome, dont stop!
Thanks for posting, it’s a very nice vídeo, in my case I can remember my classes when I was a student❤
once i tried to sight-sing the sheet, i knew this was inspired by a beethoven's piano minuet (especially those chromatics)
any idea which?
@@skylarlimex i dont remember which number but it's the one with double thirds at the right hand and also in g major
These videos are very helpful and well designed. Thank you!
Knew you were singaporean from the accent right away lived there for a while;)
Great video !!!
gorgeous! cheers, Skylar!
You are amazing bro!
Very helpful in composing!
Best video ever! keep up
Fantastic 🎶🎶🎶
Very interesting examples!
post more of these u r a genius and i want to learn from you
The previous one was Schumannesque, this one I find somewhat Tchaikovskian.
I was literally just trying to learn how to do this and you make a vid on it
Awesome video. Please make more! Maybe get more complex later on. Whole passages etc.

Merci!!!
Your content is fantastic! Keep up the good work. Jesus loves you and loves your musical talent and the way you teach. Have a great day!
Very nice. I prefer the use of figured bass, tho
Cool
i know
@@skylarlimex let's not get ahead with ourselves.
Great thank you :)
But suspensions don't resolve upwards
That's true for counterpoint but if you listen to tchaikovsky it is almost in every bara
Bar*
to be more precise we'd call it a retardation
