What is an antecedent phrase?
In a period, the phrase ending with the less conclusive cadence is called the “ antecedent ” and the phrase ending with the more conclusive cadence is called the “ consequent .”
What is the difference of antecedent and consequent phrase?
Once again, the antecedent phrase begins on the tonic, which is C major, and ends on the dominant. This time, the consequent phrase not only has the same rhythm as its antecedent cousin, it also has the same pitches. Only the last pitch is different, and this is the only difference between the two phrases.
