Breeze Waltz

Another re-post

I wrote this one on December 11, 2012. This was my attempt on multiple modulations in a piece (and I hope I did it right lol). And oh, a little trivia on this one: only 2 years after I wrote this piece that I actually learned what modulation is 😂

Comments are very very welcome, especially because I want to learn more about modulations 😊

Hope you like it!

The piece in whole sounds ok, perhaps a bit repetitive because of the rhythm, I know you focus on modulation.

There are many..... many ways to modulate, I know the following:

- Diatonic pivot chords

- Chromatic pivos chords

- Direct modulation

- Without harmony, by phrases

- Chained dominants

- Pivot sections (circle of fifths)

- Sequences

- Enharmonic modulation (augmented sixths, bIII+, dis7)

- Mediants

- Related chords

- Lydian chords

- Neapolitan sixth

surely there are more ways

Wow, I never realized there are lots of them 😵 I guess this is a good starting point for me to start learning these terms 😂

Thanks!

Well, the modulation can sound smooth and you keep the melodic material going on which is good.

You could experiment with other rhythm in the left hand and keeping the Waltz danceable feeling to it.  Syncopation or maybe focusing in other beat from the measure (beat two for instance)
Nice short work!

Yah, I happened to have experimented on left hand variants as you have mentioned after this was written. Also with the right hand parts, but I decided to use those experiments in my other compositions 😉 Thanks for the feedback!
