What is cadential extension?
Using multiple secondary dominants in succession to create tension and release around a cadence.
Define 'suffixes' in cadential extension.

Define 'prefixes' in cadential extension.
Similar to suffixes but appear before the final cadence, ending with a cadence in the home key.
What is the function of V/V?

What is a 'temporary tonic'?

Define 'cadential extension'.

What is a prefix (in the context of cadential extension)?

What is a suffix (in the context of cadential extension)?

How do you notate the dominant seventh of the subdominant?
V7/IV
