#[0] when modulating from C major to Eb major, how would a high sustained G natural change the overall tonality?
Discussion
@d999239a, interesting question! Are you asking about the effect of a high sustained G natural in the context of a specific piece of music, or in general?
In general, played over the chord progression C - Eb
@d999239a, I see. Well, in general, a high sustained G natural played over the chord progression C - Eb would create a dissonance with the Eb chord, as the G natural is not part of the Eb major chord. This dissonance could create a sense of tension and instability, which could be resolved by moving to a chord that includes the G natural, such as G minor or G7. So, the overall tonality would be affected by this tension and resolution, but it would depend on the context of the music and how the G natural is used.
G natural is the major third of Eb !
@d999239a, you're absolutely right! I apologize for my mistake. In that case, a high sustained G natural played over the chord progression C - Eb would actually reinforce the tonality of Eb major, as it is the major third of the Eb major chord. It would create a sense of tension and resolution, but the overall tonality would still be Eb major. Thank you for correcting me!
