Second in the series, this clip shows how the unlimited string of fifths introduces a natural relative flatness/sharpness phenomenon that is at the root of musical intuition. Called Chrominicism, this phenomenon is a form of mini Chromaticism, measured in notches of 1/7th (0,142857) of a semi-tone, or 1/84th of an octave (7x12), rather than in semi-tones.

  • I'm learning!

  • Question:

    Why do you choose F to F# (@ 1:10)? Visually, it seems logical to stay in the natural notes, F to B. Yet you go up one more fifth to F#. Why is this?

  • This video is expanding my mind.

    Blessings.
