Modulation: Pivot Chords

Modulation consists in changing from one key to another. Diatonic modulation is performed by using a pivot chord (which is common to the initial and final keys), followed by a cadence to affirm the new key. Obtaining the pivot chords with the common procedure is a laborious task. In this presentation, a new procedure is introduced by using the Harmonic Wheel, which is extremely fast and easy, as will be shown. Nuño Fernández, L. (2016).
