In this relation the four cadence-tones present an 

 aggregate of five cadences in each mode since ti in 

 minor resolves both up and down like its prototype 

 re in major. Each cadence in minor imitates and 

 is the counterpart of its corresponding cadence in 

 major. Compare the five parallel cadences below.
