Domain-specific¶
- Modulation
- Abrupt modulations — direct shifts to distant, non-diatonic keys without pivot preparation — are also available and carry an expressive shock; they are less common in common-practice tonal writing and more available in chromatic and Romantic-era harmonic styles
This sourceKostka and Payne treat direct, unprepared modulation as a technique alongside common-chord modulation and give the enharmonic and chromatic modulations of the later nineteenth century their own chapters; the characterisation of abrupt modulation as expressively shocking and comparatively rare is the article's. The textbook definition of closely related keys - signatures differing by at most one accidental - as the ordinary modulation destinations; grading harmonic surprise by accidental count is the article's own gloss rather than a defined measure.
