I have Indian-influenced stuff but scale-wise kinda exotic. Lots of tabla tho
Thanks

I didn't really think that the ET poses any particular problems (and I don't have any issues using minor, well, anymore). I've been just curious to see where this misconception of there being "three different minors" comes from because aside from speculation about common practice period composers mindset (and it is just speculation in this topic), nothing supports it. Beethoven, among others, used something that is described as "melodic minor" but when he described the minor, he didn't talk about "three separate minors", just about the sixth degree being problematic and then there's the V.
It depends which instrument you play and which culture your music is based in.Functional wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 1:20 am I didn't really think that the ET poses any particular problems
I agree. Jafo put specific before general but tonality in the strict sense is major or minor, period.Functional wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 1:20 am Beethoven, among others, used something that is described as "melodic minor" but when he described the minor, he didn't talk about "three separate minors", just about the sixth degree being problematic and then there's the V.
So as far as I understand, we're on the same camp here in this topic; there's just one minor tonality defined by the third degree in particular and any further alterations depend on whatever you wish to achieve with it, not on any fixed notion of a scale (this is the way I see it, that is; not necessarily how you see it)
Ah, Jan, you know that I think the rubric for this particular forum should be:
