Fabulous job! Terrific - as are all the work you have put in on the modes per your channel's library of your videos. Outrageous, generous - and you are helping more people than you might wonder! I am extending your labours (with full attribution) to my tutees. Thank you very much.

this analysis shows the perfect genius, unattainable for the human mind of this french composer

[PaulNahay]

M. 151 and beyond, I would hardly characterize this as being in "C Lydian" here. The F's in the MELODY are F naturals. The F#'s are "simulated overtones". It's still C major here.

Excelente trabajo, excelente cuenta, muy instructivo.

Thank you for all the work you put into this. Since different people use it differently, what exactly do you mean by the triangle (△) in the chord names?

[AndewMole]

do you take requests? you could try doing Ravel's La Valse!

[PaulNahay]

Bar 16, last quarter beat, the melody as written is incorrect (should be B4 G4 A4 F4).

[NotesChord]

very good! can you make symphony 6 from Tchaikovsky? (first time) thank you very much!!!

[PaulNahay]

M. 252, same melody error as before, on last quarter.

[PaulNahay]

M. 234 last quarter and 236 2nd quarter has wrong melody (same error as earlier in this reduction).

[PaulNahay]

M. 126, flats missing on the B3's.

[PaulNahay]

M. 116 melody has wrong note Bb4 instead of correct not A4, 2nd half of first beat.

[PaulNahay]

The "Roman numeral analysis" from m. 277 on is meaningless. The chords produced are a result of "planing", this is not functional harmony here.

[PaulNahay]

M. 270, flats missing on Bb3 in bass clef.

[PaulNahay]

M. 53-54 melody should be Bb3's, not B3's
