I can't seem to get cadences prepared correctly. I write music and the cadences seem to happen and aren't approached earlier by any sort of preparation. I have a hard time with the more sudden stops and starts OR with swirling melodic and harmonic content that never has any audible cadence point. When I listen to Baroque or Renaissance music I can definitely hear a sort of buildup so that the cadence is expected. Mine are only expectable because of their relation to whatever form I am using and not my note content. I would appreciate some help with this.
Keep in mind most of my music over the past two years has been for personal or commissioned projects that I have not made available to the public.
