The strength and weakness of music beats

There are strong and weak music beats, so do you know the strength and weakness of music beats? Let’s learn about the strength and weakness of music beats together!

1. Two-beat music

In two-beat music, the pattern of strength and weakness appears alternately, one strong and the other weak. This pattern is easier to express. It brings out the rhythm of music. The contrast between strong and weak is relatively strong and can produce a strong sense of movement. Therefore, it is often used in marches or cheerful music, especially in fast music, where it can be fully displayed.

The characteristics of two beats are singleness, symmetry and squareness. When we play and sing two-beat music, we must accurately grasp its basic strength and weakness rules, highlight the strong beat of the first beat, and pay attention to the weak beat of the second beat, so that there is an obvious difference between the two beats. Only by contrast can people feel the rhythm of two beats in their ears. If the relationship between the strengths and weaknesses of the two is reversed, the entire piece of music may be completely different and laughable.

2. Three-beat music

In a three-beat piece of music, the strength pattern is one strong and two weak. The strong beat only appears once every two beats. Compared with two-beat music, the strong beat only appears once every two beats. It doesn't seem so tense and urgent, but the music in three beats lacks symmetry and squareness, and is more smooth and flexible, and has a strong sense of imbalance. It is this that makes the music in three beats show the style of a waltz. characteristics, and the slow three-beat music can show the elegance and lyrical characteristics of music. When we play and sing music in three beats, we should perform and sing according to its basic strength and weakness rules, highlighting its first strong beat and the last two beats in the weak beat, reflecting the swaying characteristics of triple beat music. . It is this swaying rhythm that forms the two basic types of beats corresponding to double beats.

In some music, double beats and triple beats often appear one after another in the same piece of music. Here we can carefully feel the differences and different tastes between different single beat types.

3. Four-beat music

In a four-beat piece of music, the intensity pattern is strong, weak, sub-strong, weak. The sub-strong beat is very interesting. It is relative to The strong beat is a weak beat, and compared to the weak beat, it is a strong beat. But generally speaking, the sub-strong beat is still in an absolute weak beat position in the entire section, so it can also be said to be one of the four beats. The strong and the weak. In a four-beat piece of music, the strong beat only appears every three beats, and the rhythm cycle is lengthened. Compared with two beats and three beats, it is more stretched and broader, with weakened power and enhanced lyricism.

But at the same time, four-beat time is a compound time formed by the addition of two two-time beats. It will inevitably have certain characteristics of two-beat time, such as the symmetry, squareness, and double-beat characteristics of two-beat time. The basic rhythm of the beat, that is, the contrast between the strengths and weaknesses of each two beats. This overlap of multiple characteristics of four beats and two beats makes the intensity levels of the four beats richer and more delicate. When the speed is faster and the intensity is greater, the characteristics of the two beats are obvious; and when playing soothing music, the characteristics of the two beats are obvious. its lyrical character.

4. Six-beat music

In six-beat music, the intensity pattern is strong, weak, weak, second strong, weak, weak, just like the intensity of four-beat music. The rules are the same. The second strong beat in the six beats can also be regarded as a weak beat, so its strength pattern is one strong and five weak. The strong beat only appears once every five beats, and its lyricism is more obvious. But at the same time, it is the addition of two three-beat beats, so the six-beat rhythm has the characteristics of three beats. When the six-beat music is faster, it has more waltz characteristics, and at the same time it also has the characteristics of two beats. Features: Each three beats can be regarded as a triplet (one beat) in the second beat, just like slowing down the speed of the second beat. Each beat is composed of triplet, and each triplet in the triplet. A note is one of the six beats.

It can be seen that the strength and weakness patterns in beats are very complex and interesting. It is necessary for us to accurately grasp the strength and weakness patterns of each beat during the learning process. Only by playing music according to the basic laws of strength and weakness can the desired effect be achieved. ;
