o Breve

You hove olreody leorned thof this sign ( C ) meons four-four. Thot is, there will be four counts to eoch meosure ond one count to eoch ouorter note. But when you see the some sign used with o line through it like this {Q ), it is colied o//o breve ond meons there will be only TWO counts to the meosure ond one counl to eoch HALF NOTE. The ollo breve sign does not chonge ihe rhythmicol divisions in the leost. lt simply meons the piece will be ployed twice os fost os though it were writien in Four-Four ond thus it would be uncomfortoble to count or beot four times per meosure. By cutting the couniing in holf (one count to eoch holf note) ii mokes the oiece sound os fhouqh it were written in Two-Four, sourt,ds

You will encounter mony exomples with the ollo breve sign. When you do, leorn them fl rsi in ordinory fourfour, then os speed develops, you con begin counting two to eoch meosure the first couni folling on ONE ond the second counf on whot would ordinorily be THREE, the third :ount. -

musicol

It is well to hove o few such exomples in your repertoire so thot when you go fo o porty ond ore osked to ploy, you need not sit bock in o corner iust becouse your pieces for the most port ore looked upon by some os being the "long-hoired" type.

When leorning it, proctice it iust os corefully os if it were o more conventionol type of composilion. You will ot leosi get some excellent proctice in possing over ihe left hond while the right hond ploys chords both in "block" ond broken form.
