Indeed, the musical fineness which springs from the paradox here in question is not only very important from the point of view of musical discourse or language, chords progression in the first place, but it is also decisively determining<\/strong> when it comes to the intelligent mechanics of our perception of pitches.<\/span><\/h4>\n
But what paradox is this?<\/span><\/h4>\n
Let us first specify that, in the concreteness of everyday life, inexplicable unpredictability nourishing the adventure of the living,<\/strong><\/em> the paradox is not only a major musical development rich in terms of universality but it is as well a truly unexpected and yet heralding, elevating, promising, meaningful uncovering.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Just imagine! How was the paradox rendered possible? How did it work? From what providential spark of musical intelligence<\/strong> could this paradox have been produced, this paradox coming from the earthy, muddy, murky, soiled grounds of the American Black Slave cotton plantations, in particular but not only, those of Mississippi?<\/span><\/h4>\n
This style\u2026. would have appeared in the United States during the Civil War in the cotton plantations of the \u00ab Mississippi Delta \u00bb where shouts, calls and work songs had the function of punctuating the work.<\/span>
It is above all the music of black people during slavery.<\/strong><\/span>

@@@@@@ End of the micro-bifurcation @@@@@<\/span><\/p>\nHow could a providential<\/strong> and unprecedented acute fineness take root in a Human community so mistreated, so humiliated, so exploited, so abused?<\/span>
What a paradox!<\/span><\/h4>\nHow could this providential<\/strong> and unprecedented acute fineness take root in Black Slaves hearts and in their innate<\/strong> musical intelligence to the point of uncovering, feet into muddy earth and bodies sweating, Blues song feelings, Blues song patterns, Blues song four parts Harmony? What a paradox!<\/span><\/h4>\n
How could that providential<\/strong> and unprecedented acute fineness take root there<\/strong>, right there, in the fields, to the point of invading and modulating American musical culture as a whole? What a paradox!<\/span><\/h4>\n
And finally, how can it be that that providential<\/strong> and unprecedented innate<\/strong> acute fineness, inexplicable and so foreshadowing all at the same time, how can it be that that providential<\/strong> Human configuration of Black Slaves did give birth<\/strong> to the SEVENTH NATURAL<\/strong> VIBRATION? What a prodigious paradox!<\/span><\/h4>\n
Trumpets<\/strong> resound! Louis Armstrong<\/strong> in the front row! \u00ab La vie en rose \u00bb!<\/span><\/h4>\n
V7 finally with just<\/strong> natural intonation, V7, finally heard<\/strong> with just<\/strong> natural intonation, V7, finally sung<\/strong> with just<\/strong> natural intonation and, above all, beyond Beethoven, V7 finally corrected<\/strong> with just<\/strong> natural intonation.<\/span><\/h4>\n
For H7 in Rameau to officially lose its status as \u00ab dissonance \u00bb, we had to wait 79 years (from Rameau to Beethoven). In another light, that of the creation of a new field of scientific research, Acoustics, a field proposed by Joseph Sauveur and officially sanctioned by the Royal Academy of Sciences of France in 1701, we had to wait precisely 100 years.<\/span><\/h4>\n
Indeed, on April 2, 1801, in Vienna, a certain composer named Ludwig van Beethoven had the audacity to write, on the first<\/strong> beat of the first<\/strong> measure of the first<\/strong> movement of his first<\/strong> Symphony, what occidental musical theory calls, wrongly<\/strong>, a dominant seventh chord. It should be called Natural seventh chord.<\/span><\/h4>\n
In other words, thanks to Beethoven, V7, aka H7, now leaves its status of \u00ab dissonance \u00bb in favor of that of \u00ab consonance \u00bb. It’s not nothing! Beethoven, from the height of his nascent glory, shouts to the entire musical community of his time: \u00ab The seventh is a consonance. That\u2019s how I hear it, how I understand it \u00bb.<\/span><\/h4>\n
I take pleasure in pointing out here a funny and delicious coincidence.<\/span>
Having found\u2026..<\/strong><\/span>
\u00abAn important reference to what closely resembles the blues dates from 1901<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
when a Mississippi archaeologist described the songs of black workers and slaves<\/span>
whose songs were based on themes and technical elements characteristic of the blues \u00bb. https:\/\/mediatheque.ville-chateauroux.fr\/lire-ecouter-voir\/dossiers\/dossiers-musique\/183-les-origines-du-blues<\/span>
\u2026..we end up with:<\/strong><\/span>
Joseph Sauveur 1701<\/strong><\/span>
Beethoven 1801<\/strong><\/span>
Louis Armstrong 1901<\/strong><\/span>
@@@@@@ End of the micro-bifurcation @@@@@<\/span><\/p>\nBut, you may ask me what is the reason for this almost contradictory \u00ab Beethoven backgrounded detour \u00bb since it does not seem to align at all with the Black songs of the plantations? So where is the connection? What is the link?<\/span><\/h4>\n
The link in question is enormous! Huge! This is because, in fact, there is no contradiction strictly speaking. No! It is simply a reassuring proof concerning the reliable immanent continuity of the naturally and universally ascending<\/strong> orientation of things, ascending<\/strong> as in \u00ab Heading Upwards \u00bb.<\/span><\/h4>\n
The ascension<\/strong> concerns not only our musical ability to perceive pitches, which is already enormous, but it concerns as well Life Herself, Life at large, Life at the level of the meaning of things, Life at the level of our intuitive knowledge of the adventure of the living.<\/span><\/h4>\n
In any case, that is my deep conviction. I point it out here because to me, what I call the \u00ab Principle of Ascension \u00bb, inherent to \u00ab V5 \u00bb, is truly fundamental. And it goes like this:<\/span><\/h4>\n
\u00ab EVERYTHING VIBRATES AND EVERYTHING ASCENDS!\u00bb<\/span><\/h3>\n
Life is not an error, neither is Love! .<\/span><\/h2>\n
On 02\/13\/24, I found a completely \u00ab IRKSOME \u00bb reflection on Youtube.<\/span>
I cannot help but point it out here, the context being what it has just been.<\/span>
We see a photo of Albert Camus, cigarette in mouth. Just above, boldly, it says:<\/span>
LIFE HAS NO SENSE!<\/strong><\/span>
As a bonus, under the photo, I see: THE PARADOX<\/strong> OF EXISTENCE,<\/span>
paradox<\/strong> as in SPARK OF MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE<\/strong> from Black Slaves.<\/span>

@@@@@@ End of the micro-bifurcation du 13\/02\/24 @@@@@<\/span><\/p>\nIn short, on the link side of things, I must remember you that Beethoven’s historic seventh is tempered<\/strong>. It is part of the so-called \u00ab well-tempered \u00bb system as proposed by the theorist Andreas Werckmeister in 1691.<\/span><\/h4>\n
Now it happens that this tempered seventh that we still find today in almost all our keyboards, it happens that, compared to the acutely just seventh of the Black American tradition, it is thirty (30) hundredths of a semitone higher than what Nature offers<\/strong>.<\/span><\/h4>\n
Thirty hundredths of a semitone, it\u2019s enormous. You can hear that. It\u2019s even disturbing. Ask those who sing \u00ab Barbershop Music \u00bb. But why is the \u00ab Blues paradox \u00bb an element of discussion here? What is the point, the purpose, the relevance?<\/span><\/h4>\n
Providence<\/strong> being, I am one of those who believe in what I call \u00ab The Energy Of Reversal \u00bb. In short, it is simply a matter of noting that it sometimes happens that a great misfortune can be transformed into great happiness, as when the great misfortune of \u00ab Black American slavery \u00bb is transformed into great happiness, that of BLUES with the JUST Natural seventh.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00ab Some will say that such an attitude is somewhat impractical, that life is a matter of getting even, of hitting back, of dog eat dog. To this I answer that we have followed the so-called practical way for too long a time now, and it has led inexorably to deeper confusion and chaos.
