Re: Weird rhythm in Spohr #2

Actually write out the three measures, the measure before, the measure in question and the measure following <b>but</b> instead of writing a dotted eighth note and a 16th, write a quarter note. Keep it simple. After writing it out, look at each measure, you have 4 quarter notes, six quarter notes (the triplet count being on the 1st, 3rd and 5th triplet) followed by a measure with 8 eighth notes. In this last measure you need to pull the dotted 16th and the 32nd together to make an eighth note instead of doing the 8th-16th and quarters. Look at the pattern of the rhythm, 4 notes followed by 6 notes followed by 8 notes. In the same period of time, Spohr wants 4 then 6 then 8 note groups. (dotted followed by the 16th or 32nd)

It's like a written out accelerando. You play alone in the first two of those measures.

Good luck
