Teasing the Korean Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) "Laura" has an ambiguous tonal center; some may say shifting tonal centers. Anyway, the big reveal comes at measure 27 (if my math is correct), when the tonic chord is played for the first time, on the words "kiss to you." This would be C major as the tune is written or at least frequently transcribed. In my solo piano arrangement, I play the relative minor there - am7 - and save the C major chord for bar 31. I have played it this way for years, and after listening to other versions, I think the relative minor is more effective in that passage. Curious to hear anyone's thoughts on this, and if anyone else plays it this way. Edited 18 hours ago by Teasing the Korean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
