Description

In programme 9 we review two chords and scales and add a new one. These three chords are the primary chords, and we will listen to several pieces using mostly these. When music is based on only three chords, it is similar to painting using only the primary colours, so I call these pieces “Music in Primary Colours.” Come and hear what you think Johann Strauss jnr: On the Beautiful, Blue Danube Waltz Opus 314 Strauss Orchestra Vienna, conducted by Joseph Francek · Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Sonata No 16 in C Major K545 - I.
