The Corelli cadence, or Corelli clash, named for its association with the violin music of the Corelli school, is a cadence characterized by a major and/or minor second clash between the tonic and the leading-tone or the tonic and supertonic.
The cadence is found as early as 1634 in Steffano Landi's Il Sant'Alessio[1] whereas Corelli was born in 1653.
It has been described as cliché.
