Awesome Lecture!
-First Graph
-A to B is double the distance as B to C?
-Major Minor
-6 Note Scale - Raga, Blues Scale
-Leimmas - Cracks between the pitches - # and b
This lecture explores the basic nature of melody. Touching on historical periods ranging from ancient Greece to the present day, Professor Wright draws examples from musical worlds as disparate as nineteenth-century Europe and twentieth-century India, China, and America. Professor Wright puts forth a historical, technical, and holistic approach to understanding the way pitches and scales work in music. He concludes his lecture by bringing pitch and rhythm together in a discussion of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
