This is especially true if the C chord has a 4-3 suspension, which makes Bb to C cadence look like Bb to F to C. On the other hand, Bb shares notes with G7, so it can act like a dominant. In the context of an Ab also having occurred at some point, Bb to C could be though of as a variant of a Bb to Eb cadence, namely one that resolves deceptively, and with a picardy third. I think ascribing harmonic functions to chords in variant cadences like this depends on the context and voice leading. | |
