Expanded Cadential Progression
Often times in a sentence’s continuation phrase, the most prominent feature is the output of the continuation function. However, there are times when the cadential function is equally prominent or more so.[1] This occurs when the cadential function starts earlier than is typical in a simple sentence – typically right at the beginning of the phrase.[1]
When this occurs, you will often times find continuation function mechanisms at the same time as the cadential function.[1]
Here’s an example. It features:
- A cadential progression
- A falling contour in m5 and m6, separately
- A falling contour from m7 to m8
- Fragmentation
- Liquidation – m7 is very simple
