:::Dear Hyacinth,
:::Your upgraded NST diagram's arrows are a great idea. Such arrows would improve the diagrams in the other regular tunings, particularly all fourths and all fifths tunings.... {{resolved}} 18:53, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
:::On another topic: Would you prepare a diagram of fifths stacked on the C major scale (consistent with your diagram for triad progressions)?
:::Do you know of any RS that begins with fifths on C major and then introduces the thirds? <small>Especially one that discusses the triads satisfying constraints, e.g. that the notes should be natural (and the 7th degree's fifth should not agree with the C major chord's fifth, i.e., G, and so it is diminished). I am trying to understand how one would invent the displayed progression of triads....</small>
:::Do you know of a RS that begins with the C-major scale and then states that other major scales use the same sequence of whole- and half-steps? (Or that a historical account, like a "history of Western music for composers, theorists, and other miserable sods"?)
:::FYI, I added some discussion of Fripp's disdain of thirds to the NST article, and brief comments about his use of fifths, octaves, and fourths for chords. Do you know of any discussions of building chords by stacking fifths? <small>(Dr. Blofeld showed me this ; Bill Evans is famous for stacking fourths, I understand.)</small>

Over half of the ones I found have no references at all! I'm afraid that someone will delete them. Yours, however, is great. It's never been rated, though.

== Categorizing scale degrees ==

I see you categorized scale degrees. One thing I don't like is that you categorized the Mixolydian mode's ] as 7 and the ] as 7.5. This is perceived by my mind as meaning that you think the subtonic (B{{music|flat}}) is the real 7th degree and that the leading tone (B) is an extra degree and can be called 7.5.

== Error in score ==

The score you recently added to the article ] has an error: ]. The top note in the second chord of the second full measure should be A, not G. There also have been considerable liberties taken in revoicing the orchestral texture to make it suitable for piano, including adding notes which aren't in the original, and turning the appoggiaturas into eighth notes. Did you make this reduction yourself? &mdash;] (]) 16:53, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

:By "there...have been liberties taken" are you trying to say, "it's a ]"? ] (]) 23:58, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Not entirely. For example, on the third beat of the third full measure, there is no G in original chord -- only C's and E's (with appoggiatura). More significantly, the tied D in bar 6, making the second beat supposedly a seventh chord, is not present in the . And the harmonic analysis is perhaps OR? Different analysts might pinpoint the modulation as happening earlier, although this is indeed an excellent example of modulation to the dominant. &mdash;] (]) 15:20, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

:I've changed the image based on two IMSLP scores (full and piano solo) and added harmonic analysis for both keys for the entire length. ] (]) 15:39, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the edits. I'm thinking that the new analysis obscures the point, though. Definitely the pieces is in C at the start and in G at the end, even if we're not totally sure (and Haydn purposely obscured) where the change takes place. &mdash;] (]) 00:00, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Greetings. In ] you find: ''F{{music|#}}-A{{music|b}}-C is a doubly diminished triad. Note that it is ]ally equivalent to G{{music|b}}-A{{music|b}}-C (incomplete dominant seventh or "backdoor" dominant-seventh substitute vii{{music|dim}}).'' You have contributed the ''incomplete dominant seventh '' part. Do you mean that chord is the dominant 7th on A{{music|b}} (A{{music|b}}-C-E{{music|b}}-G{{music|b}}) in 3rd inversion (G{{music|b}}-A{{music|b}}-C-E{{music|b}}) and missing its top tone (E{{music|b}})? If yes, then whoever added that it is a ''"backdoor" dominant-seventh substitute vii{{music|dim}}'' got it wrong it seems to me. Obviously it is no diminished (5th) chord. <small><font style="color:#C0C0C0;font-family:Courier New;">Contact </font><font style="color:blue;font-family:Courier-New;">]</font> <font style="color:red;font-family:Courier-New;">]</font></small> 21:48, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Mikhail. When you want to request a photo for a music-related topic, please use {{tlx|Image requested|music topics}} rather than {{tlx|Image requested|music}}.

Hi Hyacinth, could you please take a look at my new image of "hard shuffle" (dotted eighth + sixteenth) which I based on one of your initial images from 2008? Although I tried not to make any mistake, I'm not 100% familiar with music notation, so maybe something has been missed, or misplaced, e.g. these dots? If the image were ok however, it might replace successfully the current figure of "dotted eighth shuffle" in ]. With best regards --] (]) 22:34, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

::Can you explain to me what exactly a "V. director" is? I thought that I could just have a nice, civil conversation about this, but apparently that is not the case, as seen by your attitude thus far. Just because you have the power to change something does not mean you can do so without consensus. Adding a completely new field is quite a "substantial change" to a template; whereas correcting a spelling mistake, for example, is not.

RIP

I am sad to report that this editor, Mikhail Lewis, has passed away at the age of 42 due to epilepsy. He's gone far too soon. RIP. I didn't know him but I'm certainly familiar with his name from checking out the early history of music articles on Misplaced Pages, especially in 2003 and 2004.
