Thread Name: Howard Goodall's Story of Music
Subject: RE: Howard Goodall's Story of Music
I started off enjoying it and finding it interesting. However on reflection I thought, hang on, we just went from 4ths & 5ths then imperfect 3rds to Correli, Vivaldi et al. What happened to the basic scales, major, minor, pentatonics, modes etc.

Once somebody bothered to explain the basics of the scales to me it all began to make sense of what had been a previous fog.
