Antecedent Consequent Phrases
Description:
This is an example of an antecedent consequent phrase from Sinfonia Concertante for flute, oboe, horn, and bassoon with chamber orchestra by Franz Danzi. The first phrase is the antecedent phrase. It ends on a weak cadence. The second phrase is the consequent phrase. It begins with the same rhythms and pitches that began the antecedent phrase but ends slightly altered to finish on a strong cadence. This is a characteristic of the galant style, which favored short, periodic phrases such as this one.
