Personal pronoun it.
She began to play the opening bars of one of Schumann’s songs. It was no strain on the voice...
Pronoun "it" stands for song. What type of personal pronoun is it? The nominative case form or the objective case form?

Well, unlike some other pronouns, "it" does not have different forms for subject and object of course, but I'm unable to see how "it" could be construed as an object in this sentence.

Hi
In the first sentence, 'it' - the song - is objective: it is a song being played by the subject of the verb. In the second sentence, 'it' has become the subject of the verb: it is a song that places no strain on the voice
In English, we probably wouldn't say nominative, because hardly any nouns change their shape, whether they are in the subject position or the object positio
