deceptive cadence

cadence, in music, the ending of a phrase, perceived as a rhythmic or melodic articulation or a harmonic change or all of these; in a larger sense, a cadence may be a demarcation of a half-phrase, of a section of music, or of an entire movement.

[English] A chord progression where the dominant chord is followed by a chord other than the tonic chord usually the sixth chord or superdominant chord or submediant chord (V-VI), but sometimes something else.

The perfect cadence is also known as the authentic cadence. It is a progression from chord V to chord I. For example, in C major the progression would be from a G chord to a C chord. The plagal cadence is from chord IV to chord I - in C major this would be an F chord followed by a C chord.

A cadence is formed by two chords at the end of a phrase. An interrupted cadence is usually formed by the chords V–VI. (In the key of C major, chords G to A minor.) This creates an ending which can sound unfinished – where the listener is surprised that the music has drawn to a close.

The deceptive cadence tricks the brain by beginning with a dominant V chord. Your brain naturally hopes to hear a resolution to the tonic as you would in a perfect cadence. Instead, deceptive cadence resolves to another chord. This is most commonly the IV or subdominant chord, and the cadence ending feels fairly open.

Cadence. The end of a phrase, denoted through the melody and harmony, creating a pause before the beginning of the next phrase. The antecedent usually ends with an open or half cadence, anticipating the next phrase. The Consequent ends with a closed or full cadence, bringing the period to the end.

A deceptive cadence is often used in place of an authentic cadence. An interrupted cadence is often used in place of a perfect cadence. Recall the musical example used at the beginning of this lesson.

Deceptive resolutions resolving to other chords within the same key. The most common case deceptive resolution is the substitution of the vi- chord for the I chord. In the I chord of C major, we have the tones C E G; in the vi- chord we have A C E.

We just have a movement from chord four to chord one. So with our Roman numerals. This is called four. And we move to chord one. And that gives us a slightly. Different sound it's a slightly. Less.

2. Perfect cadence: V – I.
3. Imperfect cadence: V – I6.
4. Phrygian cadence: IV6. (first inversion) – V.

Imperfect Cadence - May refer to an authentic (V-I) cadence in which the chord is not in root position, or the melody does not end on the tonic. OR may mean a cadence that ends on the dominant chord (same as one meaning of half-cadence). Interrupted Cadence - Same as deceptive cadence.

While a Deceptive Cadence does a bait-and-switch of either the final tonic or melodic closure, the Evaded Cadence breaks off after the cadential dominant and restarts the cadential progression.
