Ok, it’s not really “beating,” but that was the only title I could think of.
First, I have no idea who this YouTuber is, or whether he’s a real or self-styled “music professor.” This video just popped up in my feed. Second, I haven’t watched very many Beato videos and had no idea he posts about anything other than rock. Mr. Music Professor is correct: Bach’s harmonic innovations did not lie dormant until the jazz era. But, however polite and respectful he is about the matter, it seems a little obnoxiously opportunistic and showy to make a whole video about it. Why not just leave a comment in Beato’s original video, or pop him an email if possible? I like that Beato is pushing Bach to his rock audience. Who cares if there’s a musicological inaccuracy?
What thinkest thou, bastards? Is this just my well-bred southerness getting the better of me?
