is its accelerating rate of harmonic change.

就是加速变换的和声
The amount of time that each chord is holding

每个和弦持续的时间
is getting shorter and shorter and shorter

越来越短

而终止式
cadence is simply the end of a musical phrase,

particularly in this case the end of a chord progression,

在这个例子上只是个和弦进行的结尾
where we are at a point of arrival;

是指我们到达了终点
the cadence brings us to a point of arrival.

终止式把我们带到了旅途的终点
So that's a piece of Mozart.

那么这就是莫扎特的一首乐曲
Let's turn to a piece of Beethoven now,

让我们来听听贝多芬
his Symphony number Six, the Pastoral Symphony.

他的第六交响曲《田园交响曲》
