Line 435:

::::: I also listened to the tune just now and I agree that melodic quartertones are easy for my ear to follow (albeit I’ll agree with George Secor that as a melodic step quartertone is a bit small and tends to be recognized more as a dynamics feature, like a glide, and not an element of melody; but here that glide-iness AFAIU is just bull’s eye), but the harmonic shifts are sudden and quick and I’m left puzzled but can’t grow an anticipation for harmonic movements. This is easily an effect of that this harmonic system is novel to me and those moves aren’t repeated several times like e. g. Sevish does. Aura, thank you for showing this piece to us, but I’d be glad if maybe in another piece the interesting harmony bits would be exposed in more detail and a bit slower for an untrained ear to follow! :) --[[User:Arseniiv|Arseniiv]] ([[User talk:Arseniiv|talk]]) 18:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

:::::: Let's be honest, the sudden and quick modulations are a good reflection of a drunk's likelihood of following the first impulse that comes to mind, as well as the possibility of things going from good to either awkward or bad at the drop of a hat.

:::::: Believe it or not, one of the key notes in the modulation, D-Demisharp- the note situated at an 11/8 fourth above the main tonic of A-Natural- actually occurs once in the bass near the end of each major section of the song up until the modulation, and the same chord in which it occurs is actually a simpler version of one of the chords used in the modulation itself. If you want, I'll be happy to make separate practice pieces demonstrating the chord progressions in question. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 19:32, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
