Part 3/6:
This movement exemplifies a deceptive cadence because instead of a straightforward resolution, it takes a surprising turn to the E minor chord. This subtle yet complex harmony introduces tension, maintaining interest before settling or transitioning elsewhere in a composition.
Progression 2: The Half-Step Drop and the C Minor 7 to D Minor 6/9
The second progression kicks off with a C minor 7, but it's the movement within the progression that captures attention:
Begins with an E-flat major triad with a C octave in the bass.
The top notes descend in half steps, each drop creating a smooth, chromatic stepwise motion.
This sequence then leads to a D minor 6/9 chord.
