Right...there's a perfectly good "Music Theory" board here and even I haven't seen those symbols before...???

Chords I assume?

Yes they're chords and their inversions in some cases.
I though the symbols were universal?

I'm self-taught. So they probably are, but I don't recognise them! LOL

I never learned some of them either, just did enough to get my AMus certificate. New rules were that you have to have theory for 5 grades under the piano grade to get the certificate. grade 6 piano=grade 1 theory.

If I had to guess, it would be that the modulation is to the subdominant, Am.  That being 6th chords doesn't really change their function, so the I in I->IV acts as V to the Am.

Is that what your'e asking? I'm no expert, but I do like theory, what little I know.

Do you mean the letter name of the *chord* in the second line?

em, f#o6, BM, em6, am6


Something doesn't fit here, because you can't really end on iv, ESPECIALLY on an inversion...

This is the messed up thread.  There's another one around with the complete information. 

It's a phrase that modulates.  That's just where the chords in the first key stop being listed.

The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more
