[Smt-talk] Plagal cadence

[Nicole Biamonte]

This is undoubtedly not the first usage, but Cherubini comments on the
relationship between authentic and plagal modes and cadences (dividing the
8ve into 5th+4th vs. 4th+5th) in his *Cours de contrepoint et de
fugue*(Paris: M. Schlesinger, c. 1837), v. 2, ch. 7.
