Great craftsmanship
Thank you 🙏
Really cool piece Jay, I'm very happy to have you in my contest.
Fantastic. I am studying Picasso. So had to take a look into Kahnweiler. Happy to land on your music.
Cool way to find my music! Glad you enjoy it!
@@jaybeardmusic8074 I did 😊
Nice work Mr Beard. I especially liked how you transitioned from the second 7/8 theme back to the original
Thanks! Always a nice feeling returning back to the A section!
I find it quite tonal actually! Nice interesting harmonies throughout the piece!
Henry
Thanks! Yea it depends how you define tonality. I have a whole video on defining atonality, so based on that I’d say it’s atonal because it doesn’t use the major/diatonic scale and ignores tonal conventions. That being said, it starts and ends with F# in the bass and uses the harmonic set which is a close cousin to the major/diatonic set.
Very nice harmonies in this piece. Even though I don't compose with sets I like very much the set you used as a basis. I usually treat it as a m13#11 (I call it a "37" chord).
Haha why 37? Can you spell out the chord you’re referring to?
@@jaybeardmusic8074 F# G# A C C# D# E (7.3b fourth mode)
It's a form of abridged chord notation I've been using for personal analysis which treats all chords as modifications of a 13th chord rather than of a triad. The basic chord is maj13#11, so "37" means it has a minor 3rd and a minor 7th instead. A "D24" would be a Dmaj13(b9) chord, "Ab67" would be an Ab9(#11,b13) chord, etc. It's not amazing with simpler triadic harmony, but it can be convenient sometimes.
@@mantictac That's really cool. It works well with the Lydian chromatic concept, which I use a lot in my jazz improv nowadays.
@@Brandon55638 That's more along the lines of the music I designed it for, and it's especially useful for precomposed jazz and jazz-inspired classical music. I'm glad you picked up on the Lydian bias in my system. I wasn't familiar with the Lydian chromatic concept but I'll definitely look into it (I have no formal music education).
The system has more features than I wrote here but I haven't gotten around to typing them out yet
Here before WIM tells you to learn to compose
What's this reference? Lovely piece by the way!
@@AlexShade the reference is the bullshit guy we calling "wim". The little creature thinks he knows real music but ironically he is a just crying baby and throw shit nearly all composers and today contemporariests
@@AlexShade WIM is a troll of the classical music community.
I don't need to, he won't ever learn, even if given a millenia.

Somewhat bars 21-32 sounds asian in terms of harmony and rhythm. Maybe Japanese/Korean or Central Asia?
Opening bars are reminiscent of the sacrificial dance from Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring but less wild and slowed down.
The harmony is based on the harmonic minor set and its inversion, the harmonic major set. There's also the octatonic set near the end.
Correct! I’m impressed! How were you able to notice?
It uses the 4th mode of harmonic minor: F# G# A B# C# D# E
@@jaybeardmusic8074 I have perfect pitch and I've been listening to a lot of 20th century classical music.
