Description
Cadence is a comprehensive examination of how formal units in European art music of the tonal era achieve closure. The book brings together the author's decades-long investigations into cadence, a compositional device that is readily experienced both by musicians and non-musicians, but one that has proven intractable to clear and precise theoretical formulation. Rooted in Caplin's broader theory of formal functions, the book first develops concepts of cadence for music of the high classical style and then extends these ideas to gauge cadential practice in earlier and later style periods. Throughout the study, various manifestations of cadence are defined in terms of their morphology (their harmonic and melodic profiles) as well as their function (the specific formal contexts in which they are deployed).
Cadence introduces a host of theoretical concepts illustrated by copious musical examples, all of which contain extensive analytical annotations of harmony, melody and form. Though the book is addressed primarily to music theorists, the many issues of compositional practice raised in this study will resonate with the interests of composers, historians, and performers alike.

Reviews / Votes
This ambitious book offers nothing less than a new theory of form for the music of the Classical period....In its combination of scholarship, musicality and sheer common sense, Caplin's Classical Form is a major achievement by any standards....it should be read by anybody who teaches, studies or writes about this music. * Music and Letters * This extraordinary new volume provides advanced undergraduates and graduates an opportunity to be exposed to his theories; it simultaneously taps into the intuitions of music theory students and provides a new vocabulary through which to communicate concepts of form and function. * Music Theory Online * His book is an important and impressive statement that no theorist or musicologist can afford to ignore. * Music Theory Spectrum * Cadence is a monumental work that undeniably pushes the discourse on cadential function toward greater nuance and rigor. Caplin's dedication to a fulsome exploration of the classical cadence is laudable, and he makes many persuasive arguments toward his larger theory of formal functions. * David Floyd, Notes * ...this is the most detailed account of the classical cadence that will likely ever be given and contains a wealth of insight into a wide range of music. A testament to one of our age's leading musical thinkers, this book offers much to stimulate, provoke, and ponder. * Benedict Taylor, Music & Letters *More details

Person
Following graduate studies at the University of Chicago and the Technical University of Berlin, William Caplin joined the Faculty of Music at McGill University in 1978 and remained there until his retirement in 2022. Caplin specializes in the theory of musical form and the history of harmonic and metric theories. His ground-breaking treatise Classical Form (1998) won the Wallace Berry Book Award from the Society for Music Theory. He subsequently served that society as both Vice-President and President. In 2011, Caplin was awarded the prestigious Killam Research Fellowship and was elected a Fellow in the Royal Society of Canada in 2015.
