    Common tone modulation is a type of modulation where a single note, or "common tone", from the original key's tonic chord is held over and becomes part of the tonic chord in the new key, which is usually a third above or below the original key. This connects the two keys through a shared note rather than a pivot chord.

    Common Tone Modulation

    Common Tone Common tone modulation is a type of modulation where there is a


    Modulation pivot note instead of a pivot chord.

    It usually modulates to a key that is a 3rd away from the tonic.

    Generally, one note from the tonic chord of the original key is held and
    becomes a note in the tonic chord of the new key.

    Mozart, Fantasia, K. 475

    Brahms, Symphony no. 4, op. 98, II (piano arrangement)


    Summary: Common tone modulation connects two foreign keys that
    are separated by an interval of a 3rd (mediant relationship).
