This chapter delves into the principles of creating tonal and pleasing sounds in music through the analysis of movement on the piano keyboard, the relationship to fundamental frequencies, and the impact of harmonic choices on the overall music. The discussion also covers concepts such as maintaining continuity by sticking to specific harmonic regions and the significance of note choices in generating a harmonious musical experience.

In this episode, Dmitri delves into some underlying principles that make music sound ‘good’.
