That's quite all right. The manuals are, for the most part, beautifully written, but they often require several reads before fully grasping something! HC On 7/30/22, Kenneth Wolcott wrote: > How could I have missed that? Thanks for not ignoring me :-) > > On Fri, Jul 29, 2022 at 10:15 PM Hwaen

The question started with a piece of Liszt. It has to be played adante. Time is set: first part: 9/8 (3/4) second part: 6/8 (2/4) istesso tempo (means that a 1/4 stays 1/4. So the duration of the measure changes). Writing it this way, prevents printing the triplet everywhere. The feel of the

Carl, The 9/8(3/4) time can be used in a situation where the music is in three beats per measure but it changes between a triple and duple feel. There is exactly such a thing in the Blazhevich "70 Studies for Tuba." -David - Original Message - > From: "Carl Sorensen" > To: "Eef Wee
