ABOUT
Theory of Harmony of Music

Playing Piano

           Why do graduates of higher musical schools do not know the harmony of music? In fact, they learn only the harmonic techniques of composers of the past, but not the true logic of the structure of music. And the assimilation of these techniques, as a rule, leads to the loss of the ability to create in a new way, to sound in their own music language.

            How to improvise melodically on chords, being confident in the absence of falsity? The simple logic of my theory provides an endless ocean of possibilities.

           Why does the use of triton substitutions lead to a complete primitive sound? Because there are dozens more substitutions, and hundreds more combinations of them.  Besides, my theory gives a unique, one of a kind, hitherto unknown and the most complete list of chords of harmonic substitutions.
          Knowing the simple logic of my theory, you will absolutely know all the existing options for scale and chord playing musical themes, which, through their combinations, will lead to complete freedom of sound and possession of music, without leaving in your knowledge any white spots and voids in understanding the structure of music.

History of creation of
Theory of Harmony of Music

            This theory of harmony of music was created by a person who, in his time, passionately decided to learn to create everything at once at the instrument, to create beautifully and spontaneously, without wasting time on inventing and writing notes with a pencil. I wanted to create beautifully and immediately, without departing from the instrument, without making the process of creating into a routine of sharpened pencils, musical figures and painful expectations of the muse. After reviewing a lot of textbooks and school videos, I was convinced that all this knowledge was only islands, separate tricks; but I was interested in the whole ocean to the bottom. None of the well-known theories explained WHY these techniques work, how they inosculate and where they come from. All these were only visible pieces of an iceberg rising above the water; what was hidden in the thick of the musical ocean, where it originated and how it was combined into a single whole - not a single textbook or school explained.

            Therefore, I decided for many years to dig into an independent study of the logic of sound connections, just listening to the great music, and spending months of meticulous hard analysis at the piano. As a result, for 15 years of painstaking and, at times, painful, but sincere and honest in front of my research idea, I listened, logically calculated, I opened and explained all possible options of musical logic to its very bottom, leaving nothing that would not be clear and not explainable in the musical sound of something. I achieved a dream by comprehending the law and learning to skill piano playing, doing it spontaneously and beautifully.

             And now I am extremely happy to present to the world the priceless and unique fruit of my research, wonderful, full and mirror-clear to the very bottom of the great sound ocean, my beautiful brainchild - Theory of Harmony of Music.
