Time of Music
|
Bar? |
In the diagram "The Time of Music" we are assuming
that the bar size, i.e. the duration of time for the bar for each
of the three "Time" of music, namely 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4
is the same and is boxed in red.
For the 4/4 type
of music there are four beats that are equally spaced, as shown
in the top row.
For 2/4 type the first and the second beats are prominent. In
between the first and the second beats, is a minor beat, shown by
the sigh "&". After the second beat there may or
may not be a minor beat. However, when counting the beats here, a
majority of the times, it appears to have the count of
"1&2" (count One And Two, the second syllable of
the "two" is extended as "uuh", to account
for the space or the minor beat after two).
3/4 type of music has three beats, equally spaced in the given
space, as shown in the diagram.
