Jumping to Conclusions: The Falling-Third Cadences in Chant, Polyphony, and Recitative

Concerns the cadences, which reach their conclusion by jumping from scale degree 3 down to 1 or to 1-7-1. This book suggests some solutions and concludes with a brief history of the 4-3-1 figure. It includes many musical examples by composers such as Dunstable, Dufay, Josquin, Palestrina, A Scarlatti, Handel, Mozart, Schubert, and Rossini.
