Brainlag Music TheoryCadences in context
Every cadence as it appears inside a real phrase, perfect, imperfect, plagal and interrupted, and the chords just before them, with a way of checking each answer.
Find the end of the phrase first
A cadence is the last two chords of a phrase. Find the phrase's end from its phrase mark, a rest, a long note or the bar numbers in the question ("the first phrase, bar 4"). Then name those two chords exactly as you named the marked chords: collect, stack, read the bass.
