Never thought of bVI minor deriving from the I Harmonic minor with the leading tone spelled enharmonically different! Rationalizing it this way makes the farther harmonic motions all seem closely sourced. Thank you for the fantastic content, cheers! :)
The focus to identify these things is impressive. As usual, it would be much more useful to someone having a look into theory if the notes being talked about were being payed in between the sentences describing them. But the detail of describing it is impressive. The thing is, I dont hear any students of music theory actually making music similar to Debussy or Ravel. Retrospectively, they can identify it. But before them, it doesnt seem those in music academies wrote this sort of thing. So putting words to the note combinations might not be that useful - if these amazing composers were going from the same textbook as everyone else, they would sound like everyone else too. Debussy, Ravel, and more recently Esbjorn Svensson in his slow songs, have still not been joined by many other known composers, and thats probably because what they do doesnt come from music theory.
This is one of the few music theory channels where i genuinely learn completely new stuff. Awesome!

Great leasson! Between the g minor and C major, I like to play the f minor 6th.
Thanks
Thanks !
good news for all GUIM fans: his favorite piano reverb, eventide blackhole, has a free alternative now (valhalla supermassive)!
G minor and Eb minor...Dath Vader's theme
Sounds like Math.
