cadences
on: October 18, 2016, 03:25:50 PM
I am learning to write cadences for an exam.  perfect, plagal, imperfect.  Does anyone know of any downloads of blank cadences to be completed.  The more I write the more confident i will become.  Some of the theory books don't seem to have too many.  I would like several sheets of cadences for me to complete so that i could get a lot of experience.   So I wondered if there were any cadence sheets, to be completed, that i could download from a site.  Your help would be much appreciated.

I don't get what you mean by this. Are you doing like two or three-chord cadences? Or ones with denser textures?

Could you provide us with an example?

As long as you know the criteria for each cadence, and you just follow that, you can't go wrong honestly (if you're trying to write a PAC, for instance, so long as you V7-I with both chords in root position and the soprano voice rings root on the I chord, it's a PAC no matter what it looks like). Everything else is a matter of context.
I am trying to become Franz Liszt. Trying. And failing.
