So clear and musically precise. Long before I knew the formal "theory" I used my poor keyboard skills to read through Bach choral settings, which was a delightful trip to see how Bach used counterpoint to move from one place to another via a winding and often unexpected path. Only later did I learn terms like suspensions, anticipations, passing tones, etc.
It's never really gone away. Even the best popular music uses 'classical rules'. From The Beach Boys to the Beatles and even Led Zeppelin. It's all in there.
Wow! This is just amazing. So simple and such a difference. Beautiful. Thank you Anne-Kathrin, this is super valuable, and an extra thank you for keeping it at a level even I can understand. 😅
What's old is new again!!! There are many ideas from the classical period that can be "repackaged" today so we can sound slightly different from everyone else!!! Great tutorial!!!!🙏🙏🙏
Super helpful!!! 🙏🏼Give the ear what it wants; just don't give it in the way it expects it. I feel this was a rule about storytelling I've learned in film school about ending... Thank you, thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Who knew that just one of your sections turning up late to the party with their note could create such beautiful, haunting results. What a brilliantly simple trick. Thanks Anne!
I watched this video 3 months back when you first released it, and I have to say it's been the most useful tip I've picked up so far. So much that I've come back just to write this comment. Everything I've written since seeing this has been elevated to new heights. Even just introducing a single prepared dissonace note already unlocks all kinds of counterpoint ideas in my imagination.
Hi Anne, I’ve been watching your content for some time now. I love your work it so helpful and insightful. Your comments about music theory really hit home. Your vids are starting to help me understand music writing much more - thank you
Regardless of why you do it, I really appreciate you showing your examples on the piano roll rather than on score, it does so much to help the theory illiterate like me
Really glad I found your channel. Very inspiring to hear you talk about pretty much anything. I didn't know the term for this but it's one of the most powerful way to build tension imo.
Hi Anne, This was very helpful. I've heard these chord progressions all my life and never pin pointed this until you revealed the technique. Thanks again!
OMG perfect timing for me with this video. I really needed something to make a string and organ pad work and the deadline is (was) tonight. Totally pulled me out of the fire. I will buy the coffee. TY
Thanks for the video, I learned this in my classical study too and have often used it. I really appreciated the way you did it in the midi event screen, rather than writing it out on music staves, it's so intuitive and by passes all that theory. Bach likely just experimented and went with what he liked. The theory rules often came later to explain... : )
Thank you for this technique Anne! I've learned prepared dissonance at school, but only in a baroque context and I haven't found a way to use it in a modern context.
Very cool. I've learned something today. Wasn't aware of "prepared dissonances", lack of misical education. However that technique have got ven me plenty of good ideas for my composition. Thanks again.
This was incredible - thanks for sharing! And LOL I was thinking "Now I know how to write my own Adagio for Strings" right before you mentioned "Adagio for Strings vibes". Right on. Also very timely for me -- I just discovered Partimento like 3 days ago, and was reading all sorts of things about Galant style voice leading etc. Your trick of shifting one line rhythmically was a real eye-opener for me. In general, I just got back into composing in the past few months, mostly due to your videos. Thank you so much.
Lady, one coffee coming up! Great tip! Funny how you already do something (sometimes), but if someone points it out, it suddenly is revived and so much clearer! If you’re ever in Bennekom I’ll be happy to buy you a real-live one !
Another great lesson, thank you! What a super neat trick. You can't do that in Musescore, more's the pity as it's my weapon of choice!. Every one of your videos conveys something valuable in a completely accessible and enjoyable way.
Another brilliant piece of musical history brought up to date. Love it. You can find these kind of movements in works by Handel , and of course, Bach..
yes. But the sixt-ajouteé chord is not called sus, but Add6, despite being originated by the same principle. The sus chord types are just a group of chords among the many chords that can be builty with this technique.
Fantastic information, that I would not have found elsewhere. So....when is your theory/composition book being published????? Hint..Hint..Hint. Or, have someone transcribe all of your videos into book form.....now there's a thought.
I was looking at species counterpoint for the first time recently, and your technique of pushing one line back half a bar reminds me of 4th species counterpoint.
@@Fastvoice sorry, wasn't paying that close attention, but you can take my comment to mean "half the harmonic rhythm", which I just assumed was one chord per bar.
I like sustaining the dissonant note through the second chord and then having the third chord resolve it. So like holding an E note through the chords C > Dm > E. Though I guess that would technically be more of a pedal note.
that last variation had such a sweet baroque feel.. thank you!
I love those opening shots (as always)!

Thanks so much for this Anne! Adapting classical rules for today's music.
It's never really gone away. Even the best popular music uses 'classical rules'. From The Beach Boys to the Beatles and even Led Zeppelin. It's all in there.
I'm a jazz guitarist. I use this concept for voice leading when comping chords. I never knew it had a name or what it's origin was. Thanks.
Wow! This is just amazing. So simple and such a difference. Beautiful. Thank you Anne-Kathrin, this is super valuable, and an extra thank you for keeping it at a level even I can understand. 😅

exactly what i teacher of mine in Austria said last week, funny
Wow thank you for the advice! So simple to apply yet awesome results.
Very interesting, very helpful and I will certainly try to apply this soon. Thanks!
Thank you very much, Anne.

Really glad I found your channel. Very inspiring to hear you talk about pretty much anything. I didn't know the term for this but it's one of the most powerful way to build tension imo.
Thank you for this. Knowing how-why the classic way was done then applying a change can apply to so many things.
Hi Anne, This was very helpful. I've heard these chord progressions all my life and never pin pointed this until you revealed the technique. Thanks again!
this channel is super fire
oh my goodness, this is so stupidly simple, but it adds so much to the music and it absolutely blew my mind!
OMG perfect timing for me with this video. I really needed something to make a string and organ pad work and the deadline is (was) tonight. Totally pulled me out of the fire. I will buy the coffee. TY
Oh that's really interesting! Also very grateful of your remark that one doesn't think in music theory when writing.
Thanks for the video, I learned this in my classical study too and have often used it.

Thank you for this tutorial Anne-Kathrin. You've explained this concept so clearly and the examples are just great!🙂🙂
I have been doing this since forever, the sound of those dissonances just makes me feel so much satisfied
Adding the sheet music at the end was very helpful. Not sure I will ever get used to looking "sideways" at a DAW's version of music.
Thank You Anne. Really enjoy your vids. :)
Thanks for the channel, your content about mockup helped me ; )
Very very useful trick!! Thanks for this great video! (and great make up, by the way ;-) )
Brilliant Tip!
Very cool. I've learned something today. Wasn't aware of "prepared dissonances", lack of misical education. However that technique have got ven me plenty of good ideas for my composition. Thanks again.
It's such a simple concept and yet it sounds so beautiful. Great video (as ever)!
Pure gold !!
thanks a loooot, this is explained so simply
Thanks, great explanation!👍
Thank you so much for sharing this cool tip! Can’t wait to play around with this this weekend!
Thank you. Nice insight in your practical concepts how to build interesting chord progressions. I like your point of view at the conclusion very much!
What an amazing video ❤️.
Super useful info and perspectives, as always. Many thanks.

That was really cool, thanks for this
Subscribed. Great tip and technique. Thanks so much for sharing with all your videos, especially given how busy you are with projects!
Fantastic! I was doing this one chord at a time. Now I know the name of the technique and a quicker way of doing it! Thanks 😊
9:51 What a great trick, I'm stealing this idea and I'll credit you (not a pro composer btw). Thank you!
That was eye opening for me! Thank you so much for your content! ❤
These videos are so will prepared and so incredibly informative! I hope you keep making them😮
Super cool tip!
Really nice video and very useful !!
Thanks for the video Anne! Looking forward to 107!
Very interesting and particularly useful for me at the moment. Thanks!
Lady, one coffee coming up! Great tip! Funny how you already do something (sometimes), but if someone points it out, it suddenly is revived and so much clearer! If you’re ever in Bennekom I’ll be happy to buy you a real-live one !
Sometimes a complex task can be simplified. Great tip.
i WILL not NEVERMIND the parallel 5ths :D thanks for the video.
Omg i love this! So bloody simple who knew!😂
Great little tip that might come very handy more often than expected.
This is awesome. What a great way to create interest and movement.
Thanks again!!!!
This was more than helpful! That was fantastic! Thank you.
Anne-Kathrin Dern , Thanks Much !.......
Ooo i’m definitely trying this. Thanks for sharing Anne!
Another great lesson, thank you! What a super neat trick. You can't do that in Musescore, more's the pity as it's my weapon of choice!. Every one of your videos conveys something valuable in a completely accessible and enjoyable way.
You can, probably, by selecting one voice's line, copy (Ctrl+C), then pasting it (Ctrl+V) but a bit later.
That was great, thanks. Cant wait to have a play around with that.🙂
Another brilliant piece of musical history brought up to date. Love it. You can find these kind of movements in works by Handel , and of course, Bach..
Excellent video, also love the beautiful, architectural intro :)
Wow, Ibeen doing this without knowing but in much much less beauty than what you make with your strings. :-) Thank you for this great video.
so that's why they're called suspended?🙂
yes. But the sixt-ajouteé chord is not called sus, but Add6, despite being originated by the same principle. The sus chord types are just a group of chords among the many chords that can be builty with this technique.
@@LearnCompositionOnline great, thank you for sharing:)
@annekathrinderncomposer, as usual good insights and tricks to listen music with awareness. Thanks
Thank you for making these!
Thank you for this helpful video about suspensions, simple and efficient 🙂
So simple but so effective !
Super cool !! Thanks Anne !!!😎
Great explanation Anne, looks simple enough for me to give it a go! Personally my ears like the 1st & 2nd examples.
I love it. It's like "How to add style for dummies".
Awesome thanks 👍🏻
What a simple and great explanation ❤
Now that is a great idea....im totally stealing this 😂 Thankyou!!
Great tip delivered in such a simple nice video 👏 thanks!
Really cool compositional technique!
Can't believe I found prepared dissonance asmr.
Thanks!
Thanks again for sharing!
Love these lessons; thank you!
Thank you so much Anne, very helpful one, as always 👏🏼✨
this is pure gold
Einfach nur genial.
Well explained. Thank you!
Hi your videos are really interested to watch.
excellence - as per usual. j.
Bedankt
I came for the wisdom! ❤
Very valuable thanks!
Thanks Anne
Wow. Very cool. Thank you for that.

I was looking at species counterpoint for the first time recently, and your technique of pushing one line back half a bar reminds me of 4th species counterpoint.
Half a bar? I see only one beat pushes in this video - which is a quarter of a bar in this case.
@@Fastvoice sorry, wasn't paying that close attention, but you can take my comment to mean "half the harmonic rhythm", which I just assumed was one chord per bar.
