How to transition into different ideas?


Recommended Posts

That's very good! what @Monarcheon says. Anticipate some material.

I see you have a change of sections aprox. in 00:42, ending in Gm and beginning again in Gm.

I think you can improve the cadence. Making a good spot of rest allows to hear better what comes next. To reinforce the cadence you can make many things: increase the harmonic rhythm, put a rest somewhere, ritardando, etc....

Opposite to this, you can link one part to another. In this case, write a short "codetta" for the first part that harmonically goes to the next. Obviously with a sort of predominant-dominant progression. Put your imagination at work. Use here dis7 chords, or augmented sixth progressions... That would bring color to the music.

That's a very interesting topic. Anticipating music ideas is a good way to link different parts.

Also a silence or a well placed pedal can be the perfect link beetwen parts, I find very elegant and effective.

As an exemple it's used by F. Schubert in his Unfinished Symphony.
The long pedal (about min 1:12) has a double function of modulating from Bm to GM and introducing a new music idea and section.
The D pedal on Bassons and Horns works perfectly as a common note beetwen the two chords Bm and GM, and as a musical breath preparing the new section.
