NEED HELP -? PLEASE READ: There is an awesome version of Unchained Melody from a YouTuber named Zoompacalypse”. It was uploaded on 01/17/08. It’s 3:40 long and has a background from the London Symphony. The video is titled: Unchained Meloldy: Classical Piano Instrumental With Orchestra. If anyone knows if there is sheet music for this piece, please let me know.

@Dihelson This sight reading technique applies to practically any music. The point she is trying to get across is to look for any patterns. I have found numerous patterns in atonal music I have played.

These sight reading techniques only applies to TONAL music. I want to see her sight reading Pierre Boulez or even Scriabin later pieces…one guy told me he could sight read very well. I put Scriabin slow first movement of the 4th Sonata and he couldn´t even play the correct notes on time…ajajajajaj

@Blappymp That is true, tonality implies a scale with all seven notes, calling a C flat a B is a simplification.

@Soneoak Continued,
This is also to facilitate incorporation of other music theory stuff like circle of 5ths, 4ths, chord building, etc.
Musical conventions have been created to address complex theories with standard practices so things can be better learnt and taught. Sure you can go ahead and apply whatever else you want to music, but I haven’t heard of any great piece that went against musical convention. They have merely changed in style, but convention remains because it is musical.

@musicmanson In conventional tonal western music, aren’t Cb and B are indeed enharmonic in that a Cb *chord* and a B chord are really the same? Unless an alternate spelling indicates ascending or descending function. So (on a non fixed-pitched instrument) a Cb in a Db7 chord going to be lower than the B of a Db-augmented 6 chord because the first has a descending function and the latter has an ascending function. In any case if you’re playing an even-tempered piano, there is not difference.

GREAT ideas! I played this love piece and wish I had know this also. That’s a great start to analyze the piece first. Thank you.

@musicmanson I invented it in 2005. Along with a conversion method. I was subsequently invited to join the board of the alternative notations website. Music could be available to many more people with an easier notation method. I am not the only one who thinks this. See Express Stave on The Music Notation Project website.

@ExpressStaveNotation But we aren’t talking about words spelled the same with different meanings in this case… No wonder I’ve never heard of this “Express Stave” you’re blowing up.

@musicmanson Yes, its nothing more than a spelling convention. If people started useing phonetical spelling (wate!), then they would be written the same. In english there are also words with different meaning that are spelt the same. With the internet, ppl use all different conventions, traditional spelling need not be endorsed. I take the view that the music itself is NOT its notation in the conventional form. B is midi pitch 59. So is Cb. In Express Stave you can still see that LBJ is a triad.

@ExpressStaveNotation You’re just contradicting yourself. Using B here is like saying “This item has a wait of 10 pounds”. You only use that version because it has fewer letters. Sure they’re said the same way, but the function is different.

@musicmanson If, by “note”, you meant the written symbol, then of course, I agree with you – C flat is not the same symbol as B. And you are correct to say that by convention, triads are written to look like stacked notes, 3 lines or 3 spaces, so in conventional theory Ab minor is written Ab, Cb, Eb. It’s a convention, like spelling “weight” vs “wait”. All I am saying is that the SOUND is the same, and on all instruments, you PLAY them the same. The difference is in the spelling, nothing more.

@ExpressStaveNotation Cb and B still aren’t the same not. In theory, would you spell an Ab minor triad Ab-B-Eb? If you wanted to fail theory, you would. But it’s written Ab-Cb-Eb correctly. Just saying.

@musicmanson. I agree with you here …
So its a notational convention: since it is a triad, we want the notation to look like space space space, ie alternate letternames, so Cb looks better on the stave. However, this is a piano piece, and on the piano the player has to press the note B. He may think of it as Cb, even think that it is NOT a B, even while he is pressing the B. This is plainly illogical muddled thinking. The Cb is just a notational preference.

@musicmanson Also, Cb and B do NOT sound the same. There is a minute difference between the two, that is barely noticeable, which makes them two different notes.

@ExpressStaveNotation I think that Cb makes more sense in this context, because the arpeggiated chord is an Ab minor chord, which contains Cb, and not B. Just throwing that out there…
