Modulation is one of the most fun things in music. Especially when you introduce jazz harmonies, the possibilities seem nearly endless. I could sit there all evening just figuring out different ways of modulating between two keys.

That was very useful reinforcement for me. I've been working on a piece that requires a lot of modulation and your previous tutorials on pivot chords have been really helpful. For fun, a piece I wrote last year about hiking traveled half way around the Circle of Fifths to help me flex my modulation muscles. In the past, I wrote pieces that modulated almost by accident, doing it solely by ear and by trial and error. It's a lot easier knowing the proper technique.

What I think needs to be pointed out is that in the penultimate beat (2nd of bar 2) is that in all three cases you have effectively created a dominant 7th, which secures the modulation. I suppose that it is the resolution of 2nd and 4th notes of the dominant 7th (forming an augmented 4th) that are really needed for arrival into the new key. For modulation to a minor key I feel that the 3rd note of the dominant 7th chord is also important.

Hello Gareth, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a piece for cello and have encountered some challenges with modulation, particularly when the harmony is implicit rather than explicitly stated. The transitions between keys tend to feel abrupt, and I am interested in techniques that might make these modulations smoother. I have analyzed some of Bach's works for inspiration and have found some useful ideas, but I feel like there might be a gap in my theoretical understanding. I haven't been able to achieve the same sense of smooth modulation that I admire in his compositions. If you have any insights or tips that could help, I would be incredibly grateful. A video on this topic would be an excellent addition to your channel, and I am sure it would benefit composers like myself who are grappling with similar issues. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise. Best regards, Corentin

Very awesome. I was actually in middle of practicing modulations since I always switch keys lol. I think I've heard these called common chords too. The chords that share another scale. I think you can get different effects if you play over the chords. Like if you stay off the note that changes on the modulation the more you can sneak in. Or if you play the note that changes the more you can hear a chromatic going into the new key, which I guess makes it more noticeable. Btw, the maestro thing looks cool.

Can someone explain why you can't go from C to A using the first chord of C? I didn't quite understand the explanation.
@MusicMattersGB4 ай бұрын
Moving to A major involves C# and chord I in C contains C natural.

Question for you, why does Bach work so well when interpreted as jazz or rock?
@MusicMattersGB2 жыл бұрын
His harmony was so ahead of his time and his counterpoint so brilliantly improvisatory in nature that it lends itself.

The music theory courses I took drew a (fuzzy) distinction between *tonicization* and *modulation*. Part of the distinction relies on the *strength* of the cadence in the new key -- here, all the cadences are what I was taught to label imperfect authentic, so not the strongest type of cadence. Another part of the distinction relates to the context: a tonicization would be fleeting and within a phrase, whereas a modulation would typically continue beyond a single phrase. These might just be American conventions, but I wondered if you had some thoughts about when a move to a new key "feels" permanent vs transitory?
@MusicMattersGB2 жыл бұрын
Interesting reflections. A modulation occurs when there is a pivot (chord or note), then the new key is established, often with a cadence. Sure some cadences are stronger than others but that doesn’t necessarily affect the modulation. Fleeting hints of a key, as opposed to modulation, often come about through devices such as Secondary Dominant. That is really the difference between tonicization and modulation.
@MaggaraMarine2 жыл бұрын
Remember that this is just the opening. Whether these are "real modulations" or simply tonicizations depends on how you would continue the piece. It would be quite easy to go back to C major after all of these openings, but it would also be easy to continue the piece in the new key. But yes, the difference between tonicization and modulation is about how permanent the change is.

@@MaggaraMarine I agree, but my question has to do with how a composer signals "this is a new key where we're going to hang out for a while" vs "don't get comfortable here." In sonata form, composers often include an extensive modulating bridge between the 1st and 2nd themes, even if a 2-bar secondary dominant --> cadence would be enough to suggest the key change coming. Perhaps this is to show off some compositional chops, but I think partially it's to make it clear to the listener that we're no kidding modulating to a new key. One of my profs suggested that moving through a complete phrase model (tonic --> predominant --> dominant --> tonic) with a strong cadence at the end is one approach to firmly establishing a new key.

In that chord I’m treating the C in the melody as an accented passing note. That means that the following D is the chord note. So the chord is II in first inversion. II is a minor chord and A is the 5th of that chord.
