Danuta Mirka, Dan Shanahan, Michael Slattery, and Emily Schwitzgebel share preliminary findings from an ongoing research project on cadential formulas. This research calls into question the common view of cadences as signs of closure repeatable from work to work and from genre to genre. Combining empirical methods of corpus studies and historical information gleaned from eighteenth-century sources, it offers a far richer account of cadences in their structural, historical, and stylistic dimensions.
