Music Samples and History

Watch out for the "raspberry" triplet and tap the rhythm as you listen to Minuet in F K2 by Mozart. Think "down and up, lift" for the repeating rhythmic motif as you practice this piece.


Watch this short film called Minuet. Can you tell which musical excerpt is a minuet?



Theory

Cadences in music are usually the two chords at the end of a phrase.
You can compare them to punctuation marks in sentences. 

Half Cadences

Some phrases leave you feeling like the song isn't finished. What comes next?


Perfect Cadence

Other cadences sound final like you are at the end of the song or musical sentence.

Watch the end of the video to learn about different types of cadences found in this Mozart minuet and mark the chord symbols and cadences in your music. (Start at 6:25).
