| Description: Although the key signature of two sharps suggests the key of D major, Dorian Parade begins with a six-measure introduction starting and ending on E—implying the Dorian mode. The piece spends a considerable amount of time between D major and E Dorian; a brief modulation to D major is evident at ms. 23, with Dorian returning at ms. 39. At the coda in ms. 55, the piece comes to a rousing conclusion in the key of D major. |
