A Pivot Chord is a way to get smoothly between two keys. It exists in both keys at once. It must have the same quality (i.e. Major, minor) in both keys. To find a Pivot Chord, find the first chord that's not functioning in the original key, step back a chord, and see if that chord can function in both.

17 Common Chord / Pivot Chord Modulation A change of tonal center within a composition, reinforced by a cadence in the new key, is a modulation. The most common way to modulate is to use a chord that is common in both the home key and the goal key to “pivot” between the two keys.

According to my book, the pivot chord can be either a secondary dominant for the very first chord of the new key or can be built through modal interchange. In both cases, the pivot chord is the V of the new key.

modulation, in music, the change from one key to another; also, the process by which this change is brought about. Modulation is a fundamental resource for variety in tonal music, particularly in larger forms. A short piece such as a song, hymn, or dance may remain in a single key.

Other forms: pivoted; pivots; pivoting. To pivot is to turn or rotate, like a hinge.

Pivot. Pivoting involves changing stitching direction at a corner or another angled point in the stitching line. To pivot, stop with the needle down in the fabric when you arrive at the pivot point, and lift the presser foot.

The most common pivot chord modulations in minor keys are: The key is established using a chord progression that includes a dominant chord, until reaching the pivot chord that is present in both keys. From that point on, harmonize in the new key and establish it with a cadence.

A pivot transformation turns multiple rows of data into one, denormalizing a data set into a more compact version by rotating the input data on a column value. For example, a normalized sales report that includes store names, dates and sales amounts has several rows for each store.

Keyboard shortcuts for pivot tables Create pivot table on a new worksheet: F11 or Fn+F11. Create pivot table on an existing worksheet: Alt+F1. Group pivot table items: Alt+Shift+→ or ⌘+⇧+K. Ungroup pivot table items: Alt+Shift+ or ⌘+⇧+J.

Pivot chords can be entered using a combination of | (vertical line), \ (backslash), ` (acute accent) and [, ], {, } (bracket) characters and Finale Numerics font characters. Pivot chords occur either inline with the rest of the harmonic analysis or extended below the original key when a modulation occurs.

Modulation is defined as the process of superimposing a low-frequency signal on a high-frequency carrier signal. Or. The process of varying the RF carrier wave in accordance with the information in a low-frequency signal.

The pivot chord will be a chord that both keys share. For example, let's say we're modulating from C Major to G Major. We can see that these keys share a few of the same chords! So if you were playing in C Major, you'd likely use one of these shared chords to “pivot” to G Major for a smooth transition.
