Transitions

Analyze

Do your ideas really belong together?What makes them so?What do they have in common?What are their differences?Where are they going?What kind of development will they

undergo?

1.

If they have something in common:

Keep the common element between them and morph the rest?

2.

Use whatever contrast they have between them as the vehicle to get from one to the other.

3.

Take one element of A and morph it slowly into B

4.

Foreshadow B in A

5.

Maintain at least one element between the two ideas.

6.

Maintain lots of variety in A so that B will not come as a shock.

7.

Introduce a third idea between the two you have that shares characteristics of both

8.

Use tempo (i.e. accel/rit) to get from one idea to the other.

9.

Avoid using strong cadences in A

10.

Use A and B together as transition (i.e. overlap them)

If all else fails:

Try reversing A and B to see what happens.Try using a new A or B theme
