6470993113 | authentic cadence | V or vii° to I | 18 | |

6470999635 | conclusive cadence | a cadence ending with the tonic triad; Includes authentic and plagal cadences. | 21 | |
6471010710 | deceptive cadence | 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; V to anything but I (usually vi) | 22 | |
6471012664 | half cadence | A chord progression where the dominant chord is the final chord of the cadence and is preceded by the tonic chord in second inversion (6/4-V). It should be noted that this pattern produces two chords with the same bass note in both chords. The "I" represents the chord based on the first step of the scale (with the 6/4 indicating second inversion) and the "V" represents the chord based on the fifth step of the scale. In the tonality of "C" major, a half cadence would be the tonic in second inversion (I 6/4) C major chord (G C E) moving to the dominant (V) G major chord (G B D); ends in V | 23 | |

6472821040 | Treatment of second inversion ( 6/4 ) triads: Arpeggiating 6/4 | a 6/4 created by arpeggiation of the triad in the bass | 149 | |
6472870579 | Treatment of second inversion ( 6/4 ) triads: Cadential 6/4 | a I6/4 preceding the dominant, often at a cadence. Although it contains the notes of the tonic triad, it does not exercise a tonic function but rather serves as an embellishment of the dominant. It occurs in a metrically stronger position than the dominant, and the upper voices most often move by step to the tones of the dominant. May also be written as V6/4 ----5/3 , including the resolution of the cadential 6/4 to the dominant | 150 | |
6472924294 | Treatment of second inversion ( 6/4 ) triads: Neighboring or pedal 64 (embellishing 6/4, auxiliary 6/4 ) | occurs when the third and fifth of a root position triad are embellished by their respective upper neighboring tones, while the bass is stationary, usually occurring on a weak beat | 151 | |
6472935141 | Treatment of second inversion ( 6/4 ) triads: Passing 6/4 | harmonizes the second note of a three-note ascending or descending scale fragment in the bass; that is, it harmonizes a bass passing tone. The usual metric placement is on an unaccented beat and the motion of the upper voices is ordinarily by step | 152 |
