Modulation Using a Tritone - Music Theory

The video tutorial explores the concept of key modulation in music, focusing on transitioning from one key to another, including extreme modulations. It introduces the use of pivot chords for smooth transitions between closely related keys and demonstrates an advanced technique for modulating between distant keys, such as from C major to F# major, using augmented sixth chords and enharmonic equivalents. The tutorial emphasizes establishing the original and new keys effectively within a short musical passage.
