=== Landini cadence === A [[Landini cadence]] (also known as a ''Landini sixth'', ''Landini sixth cadence'', or ''under-third cadence''<ref name="Merwe">[[Peter van der Merwe (musicologist)|van der Merwe, Peter]] (2005). ''Roots of the Classical: The Popular Origins of Western Music'', p. 501. {{ISBN|0-19-816647-8}}.</ref>) is a cadence that was used extensively in the 14th and early 15th century. It is named after [[Francesco Landini]], a composer who used them profusely. Similar to a clausula vera, it includes an [[Nonchord tone|escape tone]] in the upper voice, which briefly narrows the interval to a [[perfect fifth]] before the octave. {{block indent|<score sound="1"> { << \new StaffGroup << \new Staff << \clef treble \time 4/4 \relative c'' { \clef treble \time 4/4 b2 a c1 } >> \new Staff << \clef treble \time 4/4 \new Voice \relative c' { d1 c \bar "||" } >> >> >> } </score>}}
