''Music Theory Resource Book'', p. 132. {{ISBN|0-19-511539-2}}.</ref> This is considered a weak cadence because of the "hanging" (suspended) feeling it invokes. {{block indent|<score sound="1"> \new PianoStaff << \new Staff << \new Voice \relative c'' { \stemUp \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 b1 c } \new Voice \relative c'' { \stemDown g1 e } >> \new Staff << \new Voice \relative c' { \stemUp \clef bass \key c \major \time 4/4 d1 c } \new Voice \relative c' { \stemDown g1 a \bar "||" } >> >> </score>}} At the beginning of the final movement of [[Gustav Mahler]]'s [[Symphony No. 9 (Mahler)|9th Symphony]], the listener hears a string of many deceptive cadences progressing from V to IV<sup>6</sup>.{{Citation needed|date=October 2018}} One of the most striking uses of this cadence is in the A-minor section at the end of the exposition in the first movement of [[Johannes Brahms|Brahms]]' [[Symphony No. 3 (Brahms)|Third Symphony]]. The music progresses to an implied E minor dominant (B<sup>7</sup>) with a rapid chromatic scale upwards but suddenly sidesteps to C major. The same device is used again in the recapitulation; this time the sidestep is—as one would expect—to F major, the tonic key of the whole Symphony.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} The interrupted cadence is also frequently used in popular music. For example, the [[Pink Floyd]] song "[[Bring the Boys Back Home]]" ends with such a cadence (at approximately 0:45–50).{{citation needed|date=October 2018}}
