View answer and explanationWhich type of modulation is described as being 'often reserved for especially dramatic spots in a composition' and can involve the enharmonic reinterpretation of a common chord?
View answer and explanationWhy might a composer prefer to label a modulation as a 'phrase modulation' even if a common-tone or common-chord analysis is also possible, as in Example 19-11?
View answer and explanationWhat does the text suggest should be done before labeling a modulation that occurs within a phrase as a 'direct modulation'?
