*[[Harmony|Harmonic]]: quasi-[[tonic (music)|tonic]], modulating [[dominant (music)|dominant]], [[pivot chord]]<ref name="Forte">Forte (1979), p. 267.</ref>
*[[Melody|Melodic]]: recognizable segment of the scale of the quasi-tonic or strategically placed [[leading-tone]]<ref name="Forte"/>
*[[Meter (music)|Metric]] and [[rhythm]]ic: quasi-tonic and modulating dominant on [[Beat (music)#Downbeat|metrically accented beats]], prominent pivot chord<ref name="Forte"/>

The quasi-tonic is the tonic of the new key established by the modulation. The modulating dominant is the dominant of the quasi-tonic. The pivot chord is a predominant to the modulating dominant and a chord common to both the keys of the tonic and the quasi-tonic. For example, in a modulation to the dominant, ii/V–V/V–V could be a pivot chord, modulating dominant, and quasi-tonic.
