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.

More stuff with intervals on scale bass
-
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 formerLast edited by Christian Miller; 10-30-2023 at 04:47 PM.

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 !

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.

How cadences work

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.

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.
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 …
