Never felt comfortable with this convention and its derivatives. Granted, 2nd inversion can sound unstable or top-heavy. However, to me, Ic can equally be attracted to IVb as much as Va for example. I.e. stabilising one's footing by climbing to compensate, so to speak. Thus benefiting from 6ths pivoting about the tonic, in this case.
Presumably when dealing with more than 4 parts, second inversions are perceived as less of an issue, conventionally speaking.

When I was 12 I bought guitar books and one of them contained the Circle Of Fifths or something. I did not know what to do with it.
I am now 55 and still can not grasp all these chord theory things. I am not dumb, I had a good career in IT and proper IQ, but this is something my brains won't accept and acknowledge.
Is there any way a man like me could wrap his head around something so important? It would help me so much in song writing.

Excellent breakdown of the 6-4 & 5-3 . I started off analysing & composing western classical music specialising in Sonata form but then entered the sphere of Jazz and world music . I-m a huge fan of the second inversion for that very same reason of instability whereas the root and first are more secure when they are sounded !

I'm going through Jacob Gran's counterpoint videos and working out all the ideas in Dorico. I've learned quite a lot and I think he is enabling me to extract even more information from your videos. Thanks again!

All Classical Composers -ONLY used- the 2nd inversion only for passing 6/4 chords or in a cadential 6/4 Cadence? I don't see ii 6/4, iii 6/4, vi 6/4 or vii 6/4 chords used any reasons why?

This is actually a progression I was able to figure out before I even knew the technical term for it by analyzing Chopins music. Glad I know the name now! Thanks as always.

Inversions are crucial! Voice leading is very important when composing for choral music and it definitely informs what happens when doing reharmonization as well!
