It is likely that popular music of recent years will be the classical music of tomorrow

 For example Constant Craving - K. D. Lang advances the art.

Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven is very characteristic of beginning with a minor chord and then the 2nd chord harmony is created by the bass going down one step of the scale while the upper parts played by the right hand remain exactly the same. It is the principle of least change in music creating a fantastic effect by this passing bass note.

In Constant Craving exactly the same thing happens with a great difference. This 2nd chord takes place as the 3rd chord while the 2nd chord is an ordinary one with a remote bass. So the 3rd chord takes place unexpectedly. But the brain of the listener somehow still relates to what was the 1st chord. 

I have not heard yet another music classical or pop that uses this harmony structure as on Constant Craving. If you know one please kindly post it at the comments below.
