How does the effect of a common-tone modulation typically differ from that of a common-chord modulation?
Explanation
A key difference between modulation types is their aural effect. Common-chord modulations are designed to be smooth, while common-tone modulations often create a more dramatic, spotlighted shift between keys by isolating the single pivot note.
