The 2-5-1 cadence is one of the most fundamental and frequently used chord progressions in jazz and many other music genres. It involves a sequence of three chords: the ii (minor), the V (dominant), and the I (major) chords.
Here's a breakdown of how it works in the key of C major:
ii Chord (D minor): The chord built on the second degree of the C major scale is D minor (D-F-A). This chord typically has a minor quality.
V Chord (G dominant): The chord built on the fifth degree of the C major scale is G dominant (G-B-D-F). This chord usually has a dominant quality, creating tension that seeks resolution.
I Chord (C major): The chord built on the first degree of the C major scale is C major (C-E-G). This chord has a major quality and provides a sense of resolution.
