Anyone for endless resolutions to the home key? Anyone for Mozart? Well, not me. I'm tonic-ed right out. Can't take it any more. Not after Wagner, Debussy and onwards. tonalities that float, move and grow, just like life floats, moves and grows. Mozart to me is like going to the corner of the street, looking about and the going back home again. Then visiting the chap across the road, and coming home again. Then....... off again somewhere...... and then coming right back home again. Ugh... give me Bach rather than that - he has longer lines which evolve. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Janacek operas. Very tonic-free..... liberating... like Giant Steps was in jazz. Surely I can't be alone in this?

Only January 3, and you've already lost the straight path and wandered into a dark wood. |

Name every modulation, and the new key, in the first movement of K. 595, which starts and ends in B-flat major. |
