I just finished a music appreciation course on Bach's works for keyboard and have a slightly more than rudimentary understanding of music theory. I would like to deepen this understanding by analyzing some of these works (starting with the Inventions and moving forward). To do this I'd like to find an app that lets me slow down music without changing pitch. JRiver does this, but the sound often become severely distorted. I also have a DJ app that can do this on my iPad. But maybe there's something better.
By the way, I just received Schirmer's 600+ page Bach Ultimate Piano Collection, so I have lots of music to analyze.
There are many apps for music theory but not many that go in depth. Maybe think of going to a music store and getting a more in depth book? I have a theory book which goes quite in depth but to be honest, was a bit pricey.
Typically I prefer more "medieval" methods, if you will. I'll purchase scores of the piece in question and analyze it that way. It's much easier to appreciate the music in that sense, and is great practice. It's like learning to read all over again!
To be clear, I have the sheet music (as I mentioned above). What i want is something that lets me control playback of the music - slow it down without changing pitch, so I can follow it more carefully, maybe an equalizer so I can focus on different octaves. Actually I may not do better than a DJ app.
