F# Minor to A Major, using IV of F# Minor as pivot (becoming ii in A Major.) 

 

 

Ab Major to C Minor, via V of Ab Major, which becomes III in C Minor. 

 

 

F Minor to Bb Minor, via VI of F Minor. Note the G-flat in the first measure: this is inserted (creating a V/43 of VI) in order to prepare the G-flat that is characteristic of Bb Minor; my ear wasn’t completely convinced with it. 

 

 

A Major to E Major, using vi of A Major as pivot (becomes ii of E Major.)
