Thanks for this instruction. Self learners often work on increasing proficiency with technical pieces like Czerny but hardly delve into anything but the notes on the page. You have cracked the door open to another dimension of music never explored.
@@athomewithmusic8698 Wow! Thats fascinating. I'd love to hear more about how different composers handle modulation/tonicization. Love that you used Elton John to exemplify 'tonicization' in this video still not exactly sure of the difference but you've flagged something that I now know to look out for. Thanks. I've always loved and been in awe of how "Goodbye Yellowbrick Road" delights me every time with its harmonic wandering. I'd love to hear more on this sort of thing. Your video here was absolutely fabulous, so clear and helpful. Thanks a million.
Thank You for the wonderful way of explaining this to me. I have a little trouble with the concepts of jazz theory. I just don't quit have my mind wrapped around it yet. So learning it described in this manner really helps! Regards!
As a former drum kit player I have recently taken up tenor sax. As a drummer I was never exposed to music theory nor reading music, other than drum notation which is a different type of note reading. Therefore, with the sax I'm on the theory journey plus reading music notation and trying to understand another musical language is proving challenging, your tutorial has shed light on the mystery of modulation for me. Thank you, and I trust there is more in the pipeline.👍
I'm so glad the tutorial shed some light on modulation for you! Your support means a lot, and yes, there are definitely more tutorials coming your way.
I've known about this for a while, but my keyboard skills weren't advanced enough to apply it. That's changing, and this comes at a good time. You mentioned Gordon Lightfoot and the Edmond Fitzgerald. Did you know that every cent he's made from royalties has gone to the families of the crew? Much respect to Gordon.
I'm glad the video will be helpful to you. I knew about how all the royalties from the sales of Gordon Lightfoot's song go to the families of the crew of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald. I always thought that it was a tremendous gesture on his part.
Thank you, Sir. I learned the different modulation names and processes. It would be more beneficial to provide the sheet music of the examples you cited. Love from India
Many of the videos have supplementary materials, which are available to patrons of the channel. They're basically just printable versions of what you see in the videos. Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot for the Chopin Cm example! At least I understand what happens there. How does he come back to Cm though? I just discovered your channel: you are a great teacher, I think your channel is among the best in terms of quality, up there with Music Matters and David Benett. I cannot wait to learn more of this useful stuff for my own music productions.
Thank you so much for your support. So how does Chopin get back to Cm? Well, he goes on quite a journey. He goes from the Ab chord directly to G7, but then takes a detour by going to C7, which leads to Fm, which leads to Cm. But in the next measure he borrows a chord from G major, and it seems to jump to the key of G, but the final chord of of measure 4 leads us directly back to Cm, after which we have that amazing stretch of chromatic chord changes. This prelude is certainly worthy of further study!
3:20 Yes, but what if your example is a *_true_* modulation resolving to a borrowed chord from the previous key, with the borrowed chord actually receiving the tonicisation treatment?
Excellent video but the Mozart example, a minor to C major is parallel mode. Is that really a modulation? But there's a part when it modulates to A major later on.
Oh well, it was the first one that came to mind. There are undoubtedly better examples I could’ve used. If I ever get to meet Rick Beato we can talk about it!
