In dance band terminology, I'd call it a "rip" in a fast tempo! Have we another PANDA loose here? Don

Oh no, no Panda. Take a look at piano music - this type of combination (16ths against a triplet, 7 notes against 2 eigths, etc.) is common once you get into the upper medium difficulty levels (Chopin Nocturnes & beyond). They have to be evenly counted or the notes in the second voice won't sound right. 3 +4 or 4 +3 won't work! You'll end up rushing the 4 either way. The middle note <b>must</b> be precise or our note, which should sound precisely between two notes played by another instrument, will be off-time - and very prominently so! The "Paganini" syllables mentioned by Alphie above are really useful to getting the counting even.
