    Where is Christian’s partimento video for this week you all cry! Has he spent too much time slagging off blameless musicology professors to record anything?

    Fear not!!! here it is - nice ways to go up and down.

    Latest thing, an improvisation on a Corelli bass

    Notice some patterns from previous vids :/)



    atm I can do either improvised or in time, I’m favouring the former

    Beautiful to listen to Christian.

    The minor progression reminded me of something and I was surprised to see that the best fit was Wild World (Ooh baby, it's a) by Cat Stevens. If anyone were to know a bit about this sort of stuff I guess Cat would be a good bet.

    I'd be interested if you apply your diligence to Bartok's string quartet thinking.

    Anyway, a very interesting and rewarding watch, thanks.

    thank you so much !

    that rather … I want to say Rococo.. realisation of the three down two up ‘cascade” bass is 1) not in the Corelli original (his solution is lovely) and 2) always reminds me of ‘it’s a sin’ by the pet shop boys. It also makes me think of Faure’s pavane.

    But yes, I can also hear the Cat Stevens tune too now you mention it which the pet shop boys example is very similar to haha…. these melodic and harmonic archetypes are very much with us, which i find beautiful. We might not know Corelli or Couperin from a hole in the ground and yet it’s in the air we breathe…

    but yes, it’s interesting who turns out to have studied this stuff as well….

    I haven’t looked at anything 20th century for a long time, soon! I do love a bit of Bartok.

    By absolutely no popular demand - he’s back

    Dressing up basic intervals with diminutions


    My plan for the immediate future is to go through the exercises in IJerzermans excellent book ‘Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento’ in some videos, perhaps with tabz and such. May actually be useful to someone.

    Just some fun basic observations for those that might be interested in this sort of thing.

    Movement from the 3rd to the 6th is basically found every where....so to improvise with this stuff start with a Do Re Me (Bass I V I or I II I Melody do Re Me) or a ii V I over static tonic bass then just improvise moving from the 3rd to the 6th on each chord. Stepwise bass sounds authentic but gets a bit boring after a few repeats.

    Here is an example of parallel 3rds.

    Here is an example of alternating 3rds and 6ths.

    Partimento-img20240312072222-jpg

    And here is Vivaldi alternating 3rds and 6ths. You've heard this a million times I'm sure.

    This stuff is everywhere and makes improv much easier.

    Ok, must run. More later.

    You can do a perpetual transposition exercise where you play the sequence, have a cadence and the modulate around the circle of fifths (using a #4 2 chord). It’s quite a good way to warm up …
