3 unusual facts about Musical technique


Musical technique

Many of these components of music are found in difficult compositions, for example, a large tuple chromatic scale is a very common element to classical and romantic era compositions as part of the end of a phrase.

For example, triads and sevenths teach how to play chords with accuracy and speed.

To improve their technique, musicians often practice fundamental patterns of notes such as the natural, minor, major, and chromatic scales, minor and major triads, dominant and diminished sevenths, formula patterns and arpeggios.


Ausmultiplikation

Ausmultiplikation (literally, "multiplying-out") is a German term used by the composer Karlheinz Stockhausen to describe a technique in which a long note is replaced by shorter, "melodic configurations internally animated around central tones", resembling the ornamental technique of divisions (also called "diminutions") in Renaissance music.
