Robert Estrin: What is the Most Common Note in Music? - From the Music Expert

from VSM: Music Experts · host Robert Estrin

https://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/robert/what-is-the-most-common-note-i/ - Just as the letter "E" dominates the English language, is there a single note that rules the musical world? In this video, pianist and hornist Robert Estrin tackles a fascinating viewer question. By breaking the answer down into rhythmic duration and acoustic pitch, Robert explains how standard time signatures crown the quarter note king, while the complex mechanics of orchestral string instruments, brass crooks, and transposing scores ultimately make the note "C" the blueprint of Western music.
