comments about a music student composition
Weaknesses include:
•the tenor line, which is too low in places (including some inappropriate spacing between parts)
•incomplete text
•some exposed/consecutive fourths and fifths and unisons
•a missed cadence and final ***cadential suspension point***
•some over-repetition of notes.
Normalmente "suspension" equivale a "retardo" en español.

explanation
Suspension is when a tone is held longer and continues into the next chord.
"Suspension is a tone whose natural progression has been rhythmically delayed" (Walter Piston, Harmony)
Cadential suspension is a suspension encountered in a cadence.
Cadential suspension (V 4/3)
enhances the cadences by emphasizing the leading tone (the 3) when the suspension takes place above the dominant.

Hope that makes sense, it is a bit technical, I'm not sure what the term in Spanish is.

: This is the correct definition. 'point' refers to the exact place in the composition where cadential suspension was to occur.

Thank you. Yes, exactly. Point is the exact place where this occured.

Samantha Payn
: It's not just a pause (wait in time), it is a combination of notes which gives rise to a feeling of tension, which in this case is to be resolved by a cadence.

pause
When you suspend the cadence, you pause. So, apparently the student did not pause where the score indicated.

: Suspension is a special chapter in harmony and cadential suspension, a specific term.
