What is another word for authentic cadence?
Pronunciation: [ɔːθˈɛntɪk kˈe͡ɪdəns] (IPA) 
An authentic cadence is a chord progression that gives a sense of finality and resolution to a piece of music. There are several synonyms for this term that can be used interchangeably, such as perfect cadence, true cadence, and full cadence. A perfect cadence is a specific type of authentic cadence in which the final chord is the tonic chord of the key. A true cadence differs from an authentic cadence in that it must be formed by the dominant and tonic chords only. A full cadence, on the other hand, refers to any cadence that achieves the strong feeling of resolution that an authentic cadence typically brings.
