You now have two pieces that can serve as permanent laboratories.
Whenever we learn a new concept later—
say:
- quartal voicing
- metric modulation
- upper structures
- reharmonization
- ostinato
- altered dominants
—you can ask:
What happens if I apply this to “Mack”?
and:
What happens if I apply this to “Bare Necessities”?
That converts theory into repertoire.
