If the purpose of an interrupted cadence is to detour away from ending at home, then does it always have to go to the 6 chord? Could the same function be done with, say, a 2 chord?
I think of songs that like to finish with a bang by ending in a 2-5-1, except when they get to the 5, they go back to the 2 again to keep building that tension. And they do that two or so more times so that when they get to the 1, the release is massive. To me that's an interruption, whereas I expected to go home to the 1, but the music is like, wait, stay with me a little longer!

The Doubling rules for interrupted cadence is you double the minor 3rd in the vi chord? for deceptive cadences in minor keys going from the V to the VI chord the doubling rule is also doubling the major 3rd in the VI chord? There is voice leading rules and doubling rules for interrupted cadence for major keys and deceptive cadence in minor keys and I think they double the 3rds in the sixth chord as an exception which they call it a -deceptive resolution-. Can you explain more about deceptive resolutions?

A chord progression I spot all over a lot of popular music and rock styles is something that looks like a VI, VII, i in natural minor, sometimes followed by a III afterwards. I've been wondering if instead of viewing it as natural minor it would make more sense to analyse it in terms of constant interrupted cadences in the relative major? I.e. IV, V, vi, (I) Or should it be viewed as something modal and so the normal rules of cadences/functional harmony aren't as relevant?

In Italian we call it -cadenza d'inganno-, which would translate as -deceit cadence- in English. That's because you'd expect I after V, but you actually get VI, which is just one note away from I (A instead of G). The English feel interrupted, Italians feel deceived... pretty interesting from the sociological perspective, don't you think? Thanks for the good videos!

the interrupted cadence -does- take you home , but then you start thinking to yourself how your dog used to welcome you at the door everyday , but now they are in heaven , and the loneliness hits you when you see how barren the home is without the dog ...
yes , I just finished listening to mahler's 9th ...

Hello very nice video. What if i use a certain chord progression which does not have a V chord in it? i just put in in? Will that not sound conflicting?
