I played the piano for ~17 years but always with very shallow theoretical knowledge. Only through listening, rhythm and emotion (not being able to think about the pieces in technical terms keeps some sort of magic, at least) Learning new complex works is so inefficient without any theoretical comprehension.. but your explanations really helped me get into music theory! Thank you so much for sharing Henrik! While I'm at it: your whole way of communicating is very pleasant and enjoyable I'd may say. You are a great teacher, very sympathetic.. and your enthusiasm really comes through. Okokok enough with the flattery and thanks again!

The first variation of the motive is also the begining of the piano concerto, same notes. That's why it sounds so much like Grieg. Thank you for your videos, very interesting thoughts

That's how I recognise it!! I haven't played the piano concerto so I didn't make the connection (it's also more firmly in minor in the concerto). Thanks for the comment!

One of my favorites by Grieg. He makes it sound like it is still in C major despite the chromaticism. At least to my ears it is all chromatic harmony in C major and not really modulations. I can't do that. When I use any bit of chromaticism in C major, I get the urge to modulate at the exact point where I am out of the C major scale. And different notes urge me to modulate to different keys, like this: C#: D major, B minor, Db major, Bb minor Eb: Eb major, C minor, Bb major, E major F#: G major, D major, E minor, F# major, Gb major, Eb minor Ab: A minor, A major, Ab major, Ab minor, F# minor, F minor Bb: F major, D minor, Bb major, G minor, B major That's including the enharmonic pitches of Db, D#, Gb, G#, and A#

I hear (and try to bring out in playing) the final chords not merely as the C-G6-C progression but as one last chromatic melodic line C-B-C.

This was such a great analysis, and I can't believe you remembered my request I really appreciate it. Although I finished this piece almost a year ago I still play it every so often, I'll probably bring it back to a higher standard though because I love it so much.

Playing this piece was the highlight of my college piano lessons. I wasn’t a piano major by any means, but I had enough skill to get here and it is just… so rewarding, musically, harmonically, it’s wonderful.

The "quicksand" harmony part is related to the chromatic line in the opening theme

Really insightful analysis. It’s so hard to commit this piece to memory without an understanding of how the harmony works.
