On the following short piece (if it is studied carefully) one can find most there is to music.


For example:


Most types of chords and how they are created (chords do not come out of thin air, there is logic).


Arrangement. For example if the code at a particular time is E9, the note E is the bass, some other instrument is playing F which is 9 notes above E (thinking white notes). And it would be an F# if the particular key used has its Fs, F sharp. Another instrument will play the 3rd from bass ie G on this example. Another instrument may play B which is a 5th above bass. When we say 9 notes above E ie F means the F can be anywhere in the keyboard, a very high F for example, anywhere it can sound nice. Same for all harmony.


Voices can sing the same notes while another voice only is changing. For example bass walking down the scale. In general it sounds very interesting composing in such a way as to have some voices lazy. Having 3 voices jumping from CEG to DFA not only does it sound wrong it sounds boring too.


See how the master J. S. Bach created the masterpieces that become the foundation of any music including contemporary pop music on the following example.

The theory comes from the following Niedt - Bach manual (Bach was given the Niedt manual when he was young. He then passed it on to his students):

Understanding (it may take a lot of time) these 2 links will give a tremendous musical knowledge that many people, even trained musicians, had not had the chance to achieve even in a lifetime.


On this short Bach piece most of what we know on music is there. For example one of the techniques used (bass descending the scale while the other parts stay more or less the same, Step Bass) can be found in so much great music the list is almost endless. For example Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum, When a Man loves a woman, Vocalise - Rachmaninov, Seven seconds away - N'Dur, Cherry, Piano Man - Joel, Breakfast in America - Supertramp, Les Champs Élysées - Joe Dassin, Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven..endless list.
