@@nopalitosms Yes. In the instrument lists the numbers in parentheses are chord tones.

@@febilogi I do have a paypal.

I'll add it to the list.

Oh, with the WDR klassik orchestra version pls. Thank you.

What do you mean by functions?

@@nmkmusic6396 functions of the chord in the key (I, II, III etc.). Functional harmony allows a higher level of abstraction and it's easier to understand what particular chord means in the key and overall logic of development, since Western classical music is basically built on modulations. Just in case my explanation is incoherent you can read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(music) Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate your work, it's just I was trained on the system of functional harmony and it's really weird for me to see analysis with chord names written the same way as in jazz or pop music, so I was wondering if is this a difference in practice between different countries or a conscious choice not to use functional harmony.

@@DariaSemikina in my opinion this is a much better way to look at a piece like this -- functional harmony analysis works for Bach or Beethoven but once you start diving into jazz harmony etc it makes much more sense to just list the chord. I find functional harmony to be useful but man it gets annoying when you start reaching out of traditional changes and start borrowing from different modes etc - it all becomes needlessly complex

Alright. First off. Within the voicing, look to see if there are any octaves, perfect 5ths, perfect 4ths, major or minor 3rds. Secondly. If you have a keyboard or piano available, arpeggiate the chord voicing. Do any of the chord tones sound like they could be the root? Thirdly. How does the chord relate to the other chords around it? How does the harmony lead up to that chord, and where does the harmony go after that? And fourth. To avoid confusion with roman numeral chord names, in situations where a chord tone other than the root is in the bass (i.e. a C major triad with a Bb in the bass), depending on the key or mode, I would recommend labeling a chord voicing like that as a "C7", rather than a "C7/Bb", because in roman numerals, if you put "V7/bVII, then that could be misinterpreted as the V7 of the bVII. I hope these tips are helpful.

@@nmkmusic6396 yes that is really insightful, thanks. But how to you go about identifying the chord itself, across multiple diferent clefs and transposing instruments? Is it that slow to identify one single chord?

Depending on the complexitiy and voicing of the chord in question, chord identification can be an arduous process. Identifying triads, though, can be much more straight forward. All Basic Triads Root Position (If the 1 is the Tonic) Major: 1 3 5 Minor: 1 b3 5 Augmented: 1 3 #5 Sus2: 1 2 5 Sus4: 1 4 5 Diminished: 1 b3 b5 1st Inversion (If the 1 is the Tonic) Major: 3 5 1 Minor: b3 5 1 Augmented: 3 #5 1 Sus2: 2 5 1 Sus4: 4 5 1 Diminished: b3 b5 1 2nd Inversion (If the 1 is the Tonic) Major: 5 1 3 Minor: 5 1 b3 Augmented: #5 1 3 Sus2: 5 1 2 Sus4: 5 1 4 Diminished: b5 1 b3 Some common transpositions would be Bb = down a whole step A = down a Minor 3rd Eb = up a Minor 3rd D = up a Major 2nd But if the score is non-transposing, then that certainly simplifies things. But there are instruments that sound higher than they're written regardless of whether the score is transposing or not. Glockenspiel = 2 octaves higher Celesta = 1 octave higher Piccolo = 1 octave higher Contrabassoon = 1 octave lower Double Bass = 1 octave lower When it comes to clefs other than Treble Clef and Bass Clef Alto Clef Middle C lines up on the middle stave Tenor Clef Middle C lines up on the 4th stave up A few books I would recommend getting: "Essential Dictionary of Music" "Essential Dictionary of Music Notation" "Essential Dictionary of Orchestration" And "The Study of Orchestration" 3rd Edition by Samuel Adler I hope all of this is helpful.
