WKMT - Juan

My colleague and friend Gisela Paterno from London and myself in the edition, have been working on this material. She is an established London composer with years of experience writing academic music and teaching students of all levels and ages. Thanks to her years of experience, she was capable of producing this material which clarifies the main aspects musicians should focus on when attempting to write a successful melodic line. This is by no mean an attempt to rule out the emotional factor from the creative process. This is a guideline which aims to help producers, students and musicians to focus their attention and to funnel their energies into looking for these very important elements prior to diving into writing the first notes on a melody line. Enjoy! "How to write a melody"

You have eaten my alive almost 🤪 I love this forum!

The art of analysing music consists in breaking down a complex structure and delivering a thorough account of its elements. The shirt description of our colleague at the forum is exactly what this is all about. The objective of reading analysis or analytical ethods is to save the time one should invest in infering the same conclusions by mere and extended exposition to the matter. Intuition might bring you to the same point but it will just take longer. Deduction has always been considered a rather ore abstract exxercise than inference. I hope this claryfies our position here. And, yes we are Argentinian, we speak, Spanish, Italian and English. I'm sure SSC can also perform such graces better than us and therefore he/she is appalled by our language skills 😉 Have a nice day, Juan Rezzuto

Hey guys, no offence here. This is a forum and it is meant to ignite passions and academic arguments. I will take some time to try and answer back. It is Sunday here in London and I rather go for some drinks; particularly after such a criticism :)!

Very nice example. Well that sonata is like a musical maestro 😉

Thank you for your comment :)! You are right, they are, but mainly because this article is meant for composition students in their basic - intermediate levels. We will be releasing another article which is meant to shed some light on other aspects of composition.

After having gone though lots of forum threads, I came to the conclusion that there is a need for clarification on which are the main elements we, composers and music analysts, consider foundational of music itself. Gisela Paterno succeeds in explaining the tight relationship between composition and musical analysis. I believe her ast article about the role of these main five elements deserves our attention https://www.piano-composer-teacher-london.co.uk/post/the-five-contributing-elements-in-musical-analysis-melody-harmony-rhythm-sound-and-growth We are looking forward to receiving your comments and answer them back. Let the discussion begin 🙂

Gisela Paterno shares these four techniques for continuing with your musical stream of thought after a thematic statement. https://www.piano-composer-teacher-london.co.uk/post/the-four-options-of-continuation-in-musical-composition I believe this article can be of great use for a young composer seeking to oranise o structure his or her pieces. The aricle is assertive on explaining these four methods to enable the development of a basic theme. We are looking forward to hear what you think 🙂
