Music Fundamentals A Balanced Approach

Notice that:

• This melody forms a period; the first phrase is an antecedent phrase and the second is the consequent phrase.


• Not every V–I (or V7–I) chord progression forms an authentic cadence; only the last two chords at the end
  of a phrase establish a cadence.


• Both phrases end with an authentic cadence, but the final melodic notes are different. The first phrase ends
  on the dominant (C), while the second phrase ends on the tonic (F), giving the final cadence a feeling of
  completion or finality. Listen to the example again to hear the difference.

fpdynamic marking meaning loud, then immediately soft.

• The circled notes are non-harmonic tones; they do not belong to the tonic triad or the dominant seventh
  chord.

Listening: Moment Musical, Op. 94, No. 3 (F. Schubert)

Exercise 3

Listen to Track 99 or to your instructor play the Schubert example. Notice that the two phrases (mm. 1–8 and
mm. 9–16) are in different keys, one major and one minor. Both end with authentic cadences. On the underscores
below, label the key, roman numerals, and cadence.
