This study guide covers tonicization and modulation in music theory. It explains tonicization as briefly visiting a secondary key using closely related keys like relative, dominant, and subdominant keys. The guide details secondary dominants, especially V/V, and their role in cadential extensions with suffixes and prefixes. It also covers identifying tonicizations, using the circle of fifths, and relevant notation for analysis.
