Great video! In many cases, less is more, and this really demonstrates that.

Apart from the valuable music theory lesson, I liked the first example played in slow though, the cluster of notes created an interesting sound texture. But it would probably sound even better with well planned chromatic notes or chords instead.

harmonic rhythm is the thing i am most interested in when i improvise. i feel like a strong melody can set me on a path where the harmonic rhythm makes playing feel like talking.

I'd never thought about that before. I always thought Baroque music had excessive ornamentation, but it's quite reserved compared with your example.

It’s a question of balance.

Just what I was thinking: “You can’t have too many non-chord tones if you have big enough chords!”. But this video is primarily in the context of common-practice harmony, not jazz or late Scriabin (which I’ve been trying to get my head around recently) or Ligeti. And in the context of classical four-part harmony this is all really good practical advice about balance and restraint rather than just throwing the kitchen sink at everything.

Alternately, everything is chord tones if you b9#11 enough.

Your video is about arch-classic voice-leading Yesterday I was sight-reading El Albaïcin; with, as you know, my mental Harmonic Analysis module ON, but there are so many rubbings and double alterations and two-hand-tricks in Albeniz that it becomes a matter of non-chord tones, or of fast-moving, hat-trick harmony.

Differently, Liszt's La Vallée d'Obermann is rife with appogiaturas, but with conspicuous harmony.

I imagine it also depends on the orchestration. If there are strong wind instruments in the outer parts, busy inner parts on violins and violas might be OK. Though I think some of the bass line needs to be shared, with some instruments helping spell out the harmonic pattern, possibly at an octave below and others playing passing notes.
