Abstract
This article proposes a model of enharmonic modulations based on transformations in resolution tendency. This model is an alternative to standard notational accounts of enharmonicism. The article explores similarities between enharmonic modulations and other musical phenomena involving tendency transformations. The model is applied in analyses of harmony, motive, and text in several nineteenth-century works.
