Classical Chord Atlas: Annotated Score Library with Performance Guides
A curated library of 50–100 canonical classical pieces (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin) with professionally annotated scores showing chord symbols, harmonic function labels (I, IV, V, vi, etc.), and voice-leading annotations overlaid on sheet music. Each piece includes a 5–10 minute video walkthrough by a working classical musician explaining WHY each harmonic choice was made in context, plus downloadable practice worksheets that isolate chord progressions for ear training and transposition drills.

Value Proposition
Eliminates the 2–4 hours of manual score analysis per piece by providing pre-done harmonic roadmaps tied to actual performance context. Bridges the gap between 'here's a chord symbol' and 'here's why Bach chose this progression in this sonata.' Teachers can assign specific pieces + worksheets instead of spending prep time annotating. Cheaper than hiring a tutor ($15–30/month vs. $60–100/hour).
Target Audience
Intermediate music students (grades 10–12, college music minors, adult hobbyists), private lesson teachers seeking supplementary materials, music theory instructors looking for canonical examples that are less dense than academic texts
Key Features
- Annotated PDF scores with chord symbols, Roman numeral analysis, and voice-leading arrows printed directly on sheet music
- 5–10 minute video per piece: musician performs excerpt, pauses, explains harmonic function and historical/stylistic context
- Downloadable practice worksheets: chord progression extraction, transposition exercises, ear-training chord-pair identification
- And more, with full implementation detail...

Musicians struggle to understand and analyze complex classical music chord progressionsMusicians and music students encounter difficulty deciphering the harmonic structure of classical compositions like Bach's BWV 846, lacking clear resources to break down chord progressions in a way that aids learning and performance. Current music theory resources are either too academic and dense or too simplified, leaving intermediate musicians frustrated when trying to understand the specific harmonic choices in canonical works. This gap forces them to spend hours cross-referencing multiple sources or hiring expensive music theory tutors.
