2019年11月9日 · 6/8 is compound duple time. So in 6/8 there are two dotted crotchets (dotted quarter notes) beats to a bar. The beams should reflect this. There are three quavers (eighth notes) pulses to a dotted crotchet. And there are two semiquavers (sixteenth notes) to a quaver. Starting on a beat (at the start, or halfway through a bar):

2019年3月4日 · Don't get sidetracked by 'America'. It shifts between 6/8 and 3/4. Modern music does this sort of thing a lot. A piece notated in 6/8 may constantly shift between 3+3 groupings and 2+2+2 groupings, beween 6/8 and 3/4. We don't always bother to keep changing key signatures. 'America' is often notated as 6/8 in a song copy.

2014年11月15日 · In all traditional notation (Beethoven, Mozart, et al) 6/8 is called compound time, and it means not "6 times 1/8", but 2 times 3/8, or 2 beats of a dotted crotchet (3/8 isn't quite the American name, but close enough). So the piece is "in 2", but with each beat ready divided into triplets, giving it a lilting quality.

2011年5月6日 · However, in 8/8 time, which would seem to be similar, the sense of pulse is completely open-ended. Often time signatures in 8 have a dotted quarter note pulse, such as 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, but in a time signature like 8/8, which is not historically used, the composer is free to subdivide as they choose. This could technically be any variation of 3+3+2.

2017年8月15日 · Since it's a 6/8, try to convey the feel of a duplet rhythm. 1) To count a 6/8 is 1 + + 2 + +. Start slow with the metronome with 1 beat equivalent to 1 quaver note; to get the correct rhythm. 2) To count the rhythm of your piece is to replace '+' …

So remember 6/8 time is Compound Duple Time it is, in fact, more similar to 2/4 time than 3/4. The only difference between 6/8 and 2/4 is that instead of crotchet beats you now have dotted crotchet beats. So 6/8 time you will count 1,2,3 1,2,3 with the emphasis usually on the first beat. Now about triplets.

2020年12月4日 · The conducting pattern for slow 6/8 time therefore looks like this from your point of view: Down -> Left -> Flick -> Right -> Flick -> Up. Fast 6/8 ended up getting conducted like 2/4 time, except with the "upstrokes" of 2/4 time being transferred to beats 3 and 6 of 6/8 time.

2016年6月14日 · My recommendation is to quadruple your note values, and write it in 6/8. That is, the first 6 32nd notes become one measure. If the music is supposed to be fast (which is the impression I get), then let that be reflected by the tempo mark.

2024年8月31日 · The first piece I found through a web search for allegro 6/8 was the Beethoven Serenade in D for violin, viola, and cello. The first recording I found online was by the Grumiaux Trio. They take the 6/8 allegro variation in the fifth movement at at 90 dotted quarters per minute, or 270 8th notes per minute. 120 seems rather too fast for counting ...

2019年8月28日 · EDIT: answering the OP edit. 3/8 is similar to 3/4, but uses quavers. 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 are all (truly) compound times, as they can be split into 2, 3 and 4 respectively. An important fact that was omitted here is that in 3/4, the first beat is emphasised (as in a lot of music), and the beats 2 and 3 are less so.
