A cadence is a harmonic pattern that closes a phrase or points it forward. Even a simple chord sequence can feel like a question and an answer.
A seventh chord adds another third above a triad. It therefore contains four different pitch classes rather than three.
A chord is a group of notes played together. An arpeggio spreads the same notes over time.
An arpeggio is not a trick but a way to see a chord in time. This deliberately large demonstration article combines theory, technique, ear training and keyboard practice. It is also a visual test of long scrolling, a complete table of contents, anchors, lists, warnings, quotations and tables.
An inversion keeps the same notes but changes the lowest note. This helps connect chords smoothly.
A triad contains three notes stacked by thirds. Major and minor triads differ in the size of the inner third.
