Find one in a drawer or box...actually, the coda was added later in Noteflight, because I only found one page! The original ending can't have been much.

A sneaky way to get from A Minor to Ab Major really fast!

I found a sneaky way to transfer from Bb minor to B major.You know, few things have had more impact on my harmony than these sorts of unusual modulations with "chromatic slippage," as I sometimes call it! I also like to just let whatever stepwise chromaticism I have in the bass and melody lines help me determine what chords might be possible when I add the middle voices. Anyone who listens to my music also knows I don't always prepare modulations, but like jarring transitions sometimes!Thought of one more thing: I've been looking into late Faure, as in his final work the String Quartet in E Minor, and he is a master of that sort of thing, though I don't want to obscure tonal centers so much, I still like to bang out plain triads.Gabriel Fauré - String Quartet in E Minor, Op. 121 Edited Thursday at 02:00 PM2 days by Churchcantor
