Romantic Waltz Style - Composing for the Piano
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- In this episode of composing for the piano we take the Music Matters theme and present it as a Waltz in Romantic style. The Music Matters theme was originally written in 4 time. By converting it into 3 time with some rhythmic reorganisation this arrangement by Gareth presents the same theme in Waltz character. The video also demonstrates how to write an effective texture on three levels, with the melody at the top, chord stability in the middle, and with a faster-moving rolling left hand generating rhythmic momentum as well as providing the bass and further filling out the chords. There are also some changes to the harmony to illustrate other possibilities for harmonisation.

Hi Gareth. Another wonderful video, so thorough and well explained! I actually have a small question regarding the stem direction / beaming. I've alway thought that the stem direction is determining from finding the farthest note from the middle line of a staff, seeing whether it's above or below that mid-line, and writing the stems in the opposite direction. But then I'd read something contradictory, that it's not the farthest note from the central line that counts, but the number of notes above or below it that determine stem direction. In the first bar, in the accompaniment, the stems all go down, even though the low E flat is farther from the mid-line than the high B flat. So I'm wondering whether it proves that it's the number of notes from the mid-line that determines stem direction, rather than the odd note that may be farthest from it. Or does common sense play a role - since visually the bar is so much easier to read this way with the stems down? Many thanks in advance!
Hi. Thanks for your comment. That’s great. When notes are beamed together we usually see where the majority need to point ie how many notes in the group which side of the line and how far notes are from the central line. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
@@MusicMattersGB Wonderful! Thanks for taking the time to let me know, and thanks again for these spectacular lessons. I've already learned more from your Theory 1-8 course bundle than I can say, and I've still much more to go!
😀
Great video, I wanna ask you if there is a difference between chord Ib( first inversion) or chord I6, as I know some people writing it like this. Is there any differenence or it's just the same thing but with a different notation
Exactly the same thing. Two different systems of labelling
Thanks a lot for the response@@MusicMattersGB
A pleasure
Hi!You’re a good and nice person!

I Hope That I Can Send You An E-mail Of My Music But That's A Little Bit Far.Don't You Think?
Charming . I am missing the song text LOL :o)
😀 That’s most kind.
What did you do for the arpeggio you did throughout the song in the harmony?
The figure in the accompaniment is literally a broken chord arrangement ie you take the prevailing chord and spell it out so the harmony works.
@@MusicMattersGB Thanks! 😁

Hi gareth. Is it posible to compose a waltz in 4/4? How to adjust the accompaniment to keep the waltz feeling?
It’s tricky to write a waltz in 4/4 because the fundamental nature of a waltz is that it is in triple time.
Christmas waltz
😀
Waltz 3/4 time or modern 6/8
The Waltz is certainly 3/4. 6/8 is a Compound Duple time ie six quavers to a bar divided into two groups of three, giving two beats.
If it were slow enough, it COULD be in 6/8 (each beat being an eighth note). At that point, though, you might as well write it out in 3/8 or double the note values to make it in 3/4.
@@MusicMattersGB if you look at jazz composers, 6/8 is common jazz waltz
How do I know when to write waltzes with pedal
Use pedal changes at chord changes and when melody needs clarity
@@MusicMattersGB thank you
😀
Perhaps a baroque style is due next
Here you go!

@@MusicMattersGB I’ll have to do variations on that
Go for it!
Maybe you should right the chords on the paper.
