[Smt-talk] Gender Terminology in Music Theory

[Ninov, Dimitar N]

Dear Colleagues,

Also, one must not forget the traditional terms "masculine cadence" and "feminine cadence" as referred to the metric position of the final tonic. This, of course, is not sexist language, although I do not rule out some future "original contribution" referring to a third gender cadence, which is neither masculine, nor feminine (ha-ha).

Best regards,

Dimitar
