Therefore, I have decided to publish the lessons as soon as I write them, instead of waiting until the whole book is finished.");

407

397

sTxt = _("A half cadence takes place when the harmony moves to the V degree (dominant) from any other degree, except the tonic (I). The ending on V causes it to sound incomplete or 'suspended' due to the unstableness of the dominant chord. It is considered as the weakest cadence and cannot be used to end a musical phrase.");

408

398

sTxt = _("A particular case of the half cadence is the Phrygian half cadence. It consists of a IV chord in first inversion that resolves to a V (or V7) chord in root position. It only occurs in minor keys (the IV is minor) and was widely used during the Baroque period to end a slow musical movement in minor mode, continued by a fast movement in major mode.");
