- Metric modulation occurs when the tempo-pulse of a note-value changes within a
piece of music.
- Metric modulation is often accompanied with a change of time signature (but not
required)
- It most often involves notation that displays how subdivisions of one meter relate,
or equal, to different subdivisons of the new meter
- The result is a smoothing of what would otherwise be an abrupt change of tempo
