Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Posttriads in second inversion seem to take their "identity" from the bass note, so a C major triad in second inversion (with G in the Bass) can sound like a G major chord with a double suspension or appoggiatura over the "root". This is the basis of the Ic - V - I cadence.
