Most there is to music in just 2 pages


The masterpiece by brothers Marcello and Bach.


2nd part of oboe concerto in D minor - Marcello


Arranged for keyboard by J. S.  Bach.

In 2 pages we may find almost all the harmony, (colors), or intervals from bass to melody used in popular music of any time and especially our times.


Almost everything, major 7ths, minor 7ths, code 4 5, interval of 7th resolved to 6th etc.


Another great example is the Prelude in C major - J.S. Bach from the Well Tempered Clavier. Part of it can be heard in Don't Cry for me Argentina - Webber, Rice.
