Me gustó lo de "crucial dominants"

[j.rodriguezpico]

Thank you Chris for your kind and good work. The secondary dominants alteres the music in a form that brings me surprise and enjoyment. Sometimes mystery too.

Absolutely fascinating! 🖖 The Tritone of the Dominant 7th chord, that's the devil of it!!🍏

I have spent so many years trying to get by without a deeper understanding of music, using certain techniques and not actually understanding them.
Your lessons and approach have completely welcomed me into bridging those gaps and into a whole new world of creativity and inspiration.
I came to your channel for Phillip Glass and Steve Reich and end up at Mozart- and that is just fantastic!!
I finally have an understanding of the techinque that Mozart and the other greats use to develop much longer form ideas.
I suppose this feeds into the idea of sitting on certain chords for longer periods and exploring ideas rather than just rattling through chords in a few bars at a time.

It really is music theory for everyone

I cannot play but I have a basic grasp of music theory and I have my software tools to help me compose.
Your channel is helping me to develop my knowledge so thank you 🙏

Great explanation/exploration of this concept, brother! Most appreciated.

Hello again.
Id also love to see some videos where you build a track arrangement from scratch. Using various sample libraries, and talking about what your thoughts are along the way.
Even if its an hour long I believe we as fellow creators could benifit and enjoy such content.

Theory and Sounds becoming a Song😊

God Bless

Secondary… only in relation to the primary 😃🎸

[lawrencetaylor]

I'm using Bach Chorales to practice my sightreading. And he used harmonic and melodic minors often, and in trying to analyze them I've always thought that the accidentals were his use of those minors. Is there a relationship between secondary dominants and these minor scales?

[andrewstrasser]

Here's something i don't get... Does the dominant always go to major? Does D7 go to G7 or to g major 7? I know it's not that rigid but maybe you can explain this to me if you get my gist. Is there a secondary dominant for a minor?
