1 Musical Tonality Existence of multiple tonalities raises a variety of questions What is the relation of one tonality to another? Can we measure relatedness? How do we represent relatedness? Questions regarding perception of tonality How do we find our sense of key? Are we accurate in sense of key? What models do we have for determining key?

2 Theoretical Maps of Interkey Distances Are there ways of deriving interkey distances? Put differently, can we determine key maps? Key distance an important issue in music-theoretic descriptions of tonal music because of key modulation Musical composition written in home key Compositions move to other keys, or modulate Usually return to home key Practice codified in interkey distances – key distances considered close if modulations are frequent

3 Interkey Distances The Circle of Fifths

4 Interkey Distances, con’t Diatonic set overlaps

5 Interkey Distances, con’t Diatonic set overlaps The problem of minor keys Different forms of the minor Relation between the major and minor keys The Relative Minor (C major and A minor) Identical scale degrees C Major: C D E F G A B A Minor: A B C D E F G The Parallel Minor (C major and C minor) Common tonic and 5 th scale degree C Major: C D E F G A B C Minor: C D Eb F G Ab B

6 Interkey Distances, con’t Krumhansl & Kessler (1982)

7 Interkey Distances, con’t Interkey correlations

9 Interkey Distances, con’t Krumhansl & Kessler (1982) Multidimensional scaling solution

10 Interkey Distances, con’t The four-dimensional torus

11 Interkey Distances, con’t Krumhansl & Kessler (1982) Map of key space

12 Interkey Distances, con’t Schoenberg (1954/1969) Chart of key distance

13 Interkey Distances, con’t Werts (1983) Analyzed key progressions between compositions Expressed as movement from one key to neighboring keys Produced a multidimensional scaling solution based on number of times keys moved from one to another Similar to MDS solution just seen
