Hello:
This may be a very basic question but I don't remember seeing this before.
The 3rd movement of the "Six Studies in English Folksong" by Ralph Vaughan Williams starts in 4/4 time but changes to 3/2 for the last 2 bars. There is an indication over the 3/2 of "(qtr note = qtr note)", using real notes of course. My interpretation of this is that, since we are in 4/4 going to 3/2, the tempo has now been reduced by 1/2. I view it as 1-2-3-4 (change to 3/2) 1-and-2-and-3-and.
Correct or no?
Thanks,
Matt
