Species Of Cadence


In text-books and musical dictionaries several

varieties of the cadence are distinguished, but they are chiefly

distinctions without any more than one essential point of difference,

namely, difference in force or weight. It is therefore feasible to

reduce all these varieties to two,--the heavy cadence and the light

cadence. The former is represented by the so-called Perfect cadence,

the latter by the many grades of Semicadence.
