HARMONIC ANALYSIS!!!!!!!!
on: June 08, 2015, 04:57:38 AM
Yeah, I know. It's probably not good etiquitte to write with copious exclamation points and all caps, apologies in advance.
I think harmonic analysis is extremely important for understanding and composing music, but I can't  'check my work' anywhere! Since this is an important job for music theorist I imagine I can find a big database somewhere online of harmonic analysis of like every piece. Or at least find a book or resource that has something....

Hi Oullman7130,

I can't think of any online databases like that, but why not upload or link to your work in these forums so that we can check it?


Mvh,

I do, but I am not knowledgable enough to be fully accurate, and the best way to learn is certainly from one's mistakes...

Hi Oullman,

I edited my post after rereading your first post . . . I just woke up and am waiting for the first cup of coffee to kick in, and I didn't quite take everything in on the first pass!


Mvh,

try this..

or simply type in the name of the piece you wish to check along with "harmonic analysis" and you will get plenty of results.

here is Moonlight Sonata for example
