Fragment of Schumann.] The first chord in the fourth measure, on the accented beat, is the "cadence-chord"; but the preceding chord (and possibly the one before that, also) is naturally inseparable from the final one, and therefore the entire cadence would be defined technically as embracing both (or all three) of these chords.

The effect of repose is obtained _by the length of the final chord_, which exceeds that of any other melody tone in the phrase; its time-value is a dotted quarter, because of the preliminary tone (_e_, before the first accent) which, in the original (op.

Illustrations of the regular cadence will be found, also, in Ex.
