This all only matters for people trying to ‘compose’ trivial melodies and make them into hits. Who are these people - everyone in pop industry.
But only few, like Max Martin, know how to devise a simple, yet original melody… and perhaps there are only that many of these riffs.
- ironmagma 5y ago“Original” is a bit of a sham. There is a vanishingly small chance that any newly created work would actually be unique and new to the world. At the very least, all the usable chord progressions and listenable rhythms for pop have been discovered already.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoThis is really an absurd oversimplification. Almost every great melody is "trivial". And almost no original melody is actually original.
