Check this woman's transposition of a Mozart sonata (yes, that one) into different MODES ~ major LOLs -- Makes me want to listen to Copeland, clear my ears
She does two (link takes you to first one) back to back, about 1 min total. Glass of wine/ chewable = optional.

this little ditty started as an exercise or etude involving the idea of a "tetrad" of ii-V progressions, all related to a single chord... maybe it will evolve into a real song!

you can also think of it as a musical puzzle: what is the "hidden chord"? :)

Wait there’s more.
I work as an editor in contemporary classical music. As a player I play lots of common practice period (tonal) music but also have a baroque specialism, so my head has to move in and out of various musical dialects.

A chord that in a baroque context is a devastating dissonance painting the emotional landscape of (say) a moment in the Passion story, in a Brahms symphony might pass as a consonance, a chord of repose. And in Schoenberg its meaning changes again. This knowledge was not explicitly taught to me, but is experiential.

It’s probably important to stop making a ‘tonal’ pigeon-hole, which I did in the post above, since it would have to include Gombert and Gurrelieder, and no group can survive that.

‘It’s more complicated than that’.

`In music theory and tuning, a tonality diamond is a two-dimensional diagram of ratios in which one dimension is the Otonality and one the Utonality. Thus the n-limit tonality diamond..is an arrangement in diamond-shape of the set of rational numbers r, 1 ≤ r < 2, such that the odd part of both the numerator and the denominator of r, when reduced to lowest terms, is less than or equal to the fixed odd number n.`
