In a message dated 97-10-20 20:24:19 EDT, you write: << I think I understand what you mean, and the theoretical term is called polyrythyms (the spelling is probably wrong). Try tapping out a triple meter with your right hand (1 2 3) and at the same time tapping 1 2 (evenly) with your left. The 1's should match up. If you get larger than that (5 over 4) you will experience 'wrap around' and the downbeats should match up every now and then. Sorry for getting technical.... Now a question: >> I play classical piano, even won second in state. It's not hard to reconize such beats, but even though you may have 2 on 3, or 3 on 2, it doesn't change the time signature. It's either triplets in halve or full time (2/4 4/4), or even notes (8th notes, quarter notes, i.e. not triplets) played in 3/4 time. Also known as waltz time. Why am I tell you this? dunno, mabey i saw my chance to contribute info on something I know a little more about. but either way, with those times, you get a real expressionistic feel into the music. -Aaron
