Modulate like Beethoven: B-flat minor from C major! #shorts #musictheory #piano #beethoven

#musictheory #chords #piano #modulation

This is the fifteenth of C. P. E. Bach's seventeen basses for modulating to all the distant keys, from his *Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments*. It shows how to modulate down a step, from a major mode to a minor mode key.

The style of this improvisation is heavily influenced by the late piano music of Beethoven.

This series is a continuation of my "Close Modulations" series of #shorts, which uses Bach's ten basses for modulating to the closely related keys.

My #improvisation is played on a Frenzel fortepiano, a virtual instrument modeled by Pianoteq (Modartt). The reverb used is one of Altiverb's (Audio Ease) Esterhazy samples.
