What is Mediant modulation?
In a common-tone modulation, the two chords connecting the two keys are typically in a chromatic mediant relationship. Chromatic mediants are chords with roots a third apart that share only one common tone and have the same quality (both are major or both are minor).
What is Enharmonic modulation?
: a modulation in which by enharmonically altering one or more notes the harmonic relation of a chord is changed so as to lead to a new key.
What is sequential modulation?
"A passage in a given key ending in a cadence might be followed by the same passage transposed (up or down) to another key," this being known as sequential modulation. ... A sequential modulation is also called rosalia. The sequential passage will begin in the home key, and may move either diatonically or chromatically.
What is chromatic modulation?
Chromatic Modulation:
A chromatic modulation is a change of key brought about through a chromatic alteration of a note between two chords. In a chromatic alteration, there is no pivot chord; neither the chord without or with the chromatic alteration can be analyzed in both the old and the new key.
