Hi Dr. Meyer. Well structured lesson on periods. Will there be a follow-up lesson soon (Sentences)? Thank you for your time.

Thank you Dr. Meyer,
Isn't last cadence in three-phrases period example an "Imperfect" one?

Great video :) Just noting a mistake here however: The last bar in the Haydn, Symphony No. 102 IV, Finale example is not a PAC. The top voice has the 3rd of F.

For the parallel period, does it have to be the exact same (basic idea)? What if there’s a little bit of embellishment but keeps there same idea?
