当我在洛杉矶第一次来到,一年后,我从音乐波士顿音乐学院已经毕业,主修作曲,像极了年轻作曲家谁来到这里,我挣扎着爬公布,并聘请了进球的电影和电视节目的歌曲。很显然,我仍然有很多东西要学。然而,几乎马上行业的人告诉我,我有对旋律的礼物。现在,考虑到我唱的早期,并从12岁写的歌是有一些天赋,但我真的相信我们通过我的作文的老师,已故博士大卫·阿夫拉姆,需要一个锻炼取得了巨大的差异,我想将它推荐给你。我这样做是对的分数纸上当年,但你可以做到这一点的DAW这样或。
我们从大卫博士的第一个任务去是这样的:我要你把为每个类一个星期作为自由的旋律很多页面,无需拍坚持,因为你只能使用2次的间隔站立。而且,你必须尽量做到有趣尽可能我们会发挥他们在钢琴和比较大家的尝试。
这里是一个小例子:
第1周:一个星期写这之后,所有的组成专业的学生已经准备好尖叫,因为它是如此的限制,如果你想它的工作为乐。但是,当我们打他们在钢琴,
第2周:现在你可以偶尔加第3的区间,但你必须马上去第二相反的方向。参见图二。
噢,我的...这样的艺术自由,世界是我们的!尽职尽责,我们页之后写的页面,但很快这也变得如此严格,水刑看着不怎么样的折磨不是这样了。
第3周:现在你可能偶尔添加第四的间隔,以及一个第三,但与第四则必须立即去在相反的方向上的第三,同时与三度继续转到一个第二。
在马丁·路德·金, 终于自由了的话,全能的上帝,我们终于自由了!
但是,难道不知道这之后,我们一页页写后页,这成为令人发狂的地步,大家都讨论了木工作为一种替代的职业生涯。
那么,它不采取天才弄清楚,最终5ths,6ths和7ths,被允许然后次要版本的间隔,所有限制。毕竟是说,做,我们这样做对整个第一学期。它驱使我们绝对是疯了,但大家一致认为,他们现在写的更好的图案和因为这项工作的旋律。真正有趣的是,即使我们开始写12音音乐,我们这样做更有趣的在做这件事这么多。
试试看吧!

That was a great article. I'm a big fan of these types of disciplined writing exercises. Like the old saying goes: The absence of limitations is the biggest obstacle to creativity!

But I am not sure about week 3… When I play 4th interval I should immediately go to 3rd (opposite direction) and then what - does the rules about 3rds apply here still? So after 4th I should immediately go to 3rd and then immediately go to 2nd? That would be limiting for real, so I guess not :)
It goes like this:
C (5th) G (mandatory opposite 4th) D (mandatory opposite 3rd) F (mandatory opposite 2nd) E?
Or for 7th: C B D A E G F?
So basically every time I play interval I need to "spiral" down?
It almost doesn't make sense :)
Possibly if I play 5th I am forced to play opposite 4th, but then I am free to play whatever interval (3rd or 2nd in any direction)?
I feel very stupid for not understanding, but simple example for week 3 and 4 would truly clear things up for me :)
Maybe a follow up article in 2 weeks time with more examples? :)
1. There is no "key" per se', but it is diatonic. And no matter which interval you go up or down to, you must immediately then use a 2nd in the opposite direction.
2. Let us say that we have now gone through 2nd, 3rds, and are now incorporating 4ths. If iJump up a 4th I must immediately step down a 2nd. I then write mostly 2nds but now jump down a 3rd. I now immediately must step up a 2nd. I do seconds for a bit and go up/down a 4th again. Immediately I must do a 2nd in the opposite direction.
