Excerpt from How to Modulate: A Simple and Systematic Guide in Modulating From Any Key to Any Other, and a Review of the Principles of Artistic Modulation as Applied in General Composition
The student of Theory who is not content with a merely superficial view of the subject, will find that several of the principles here developed particularly the Attendant chords and the treatment of the Chords of the Augmented Sixth have a most important bearing not only upon Modulation but upon Musical Theory in general.
In our standard works on Theory we have fine examples of Modulation, but there are few principles advanced and these do not apply in every case. Therefore it has been concluded that the Art of Modulation is a matter of experience and taste, and that the subject though it may be learned can not be taught. This little work shows that it may be reduced to a system and thoroughly mastered in a short time.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in the late 19th century, delves into the intricate world of musical modulation, offering a systematic approach to understanding and mastering this essential aspect of musical composition. The author argues that while modulation is often seen as an art form driven by experience and taste, it can be effectively taught and learned through a structured framework. The book explores the fundamental relationships between chords, emphasizing the concept of "attendant chords" as a means to facilitate smooth transitions between keys. This system provides a practical method for connecting any two chords or keys, regardless of their apparent distance or complexity. The author then delves into specific modulation techniques using dominant seventh chords, diminished seventh chords, and augmented sixth chords, providing clear explanations and practical examples. Beyond technical instruction, the book offers insights into the artistic principles of modulation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining musical coherence and emotional impact while navigating key changes. The author draws upon examples from renowned composers like Beethoven and Mendelssohn, demonstrating how these principles are applied in actual musical works. This book's insights into modulation provide a valuable resource for musicians and composers seeking to enhance their understanding of harmonic relationships and unlock new creative possibilities in their musical endeavors.
