Tutorial on legato music theory

The free equalization of the time values of notes, the number of which does not coincide with the basic division, is called a special form of rhythmic division, which is often referred to as the legato note. The legato notes are labeled with an Arabic numeral in the middle of the arc, and you can read the following article to learn what a legato note is.

Diatonic Quadruplets

Diatonic and quadruplets are the equal division of a dotted note into two or four parts. This type of legato is also less commonly used.

Unlike the previous types of legato, diphthongs and quadruphthongs divide the time value of a dotted note, not the time value of a fundamental note. The diphthong is even more distinctive, as all other diphthongs are divided by more into less: the triplet is divided into two parts, the quadruple into three parts, the quintuple into four parts, and the ninth into eight parts? And a diphthong is dividing more by less: it's dividing what would otherwise be a three-part note equally into two parts.

The diatonic and quatrain endings are equal to the endings of the base notes that would have been divided into three parts. I.e., the number of note tails of the diatonic and quartic notes produced by the dotted quarter note is equal to the number of note tails of the eighth note? One tail; the number of diatonic and quadruplet tones produced by the dotted eighth note is equal to the number of sixteenth note tails? Two tails; dotted half notes and quadruplets have the same number of tails as quarter notes? No endings? And so on for the rest.

Diphthongs and quadruphthongs are written similarly to other legato notes, with the difference being *** the same number of notes on the end.

Note that all legato notes can contain rests, and rests in groups of legato notes have the same time value as notes.

Triplets

A triplet is the equalization of the time value of a base note that would otherwise be divided into two. This is the most commonly used type of legato.

The number of endings in a triplet is the same as the number of endings in a base note divided equally into two. I.e., the number of endings of a triplet produced by a quarter note is equal to the number of endings of an eighth note, and the number of endings of an eighth note is equal to the number of endings of an eighth note. One note end; the number of note ends of a triplet produced by an eighth note is equal to the number of note ends of a sixteenth note? Two tails; a triplet made from a half note has the same number of tails as a quarter note? No tails? And so on for the rest.

Tritone writing is the three triplet note end with *** with the end of the note to write, and in the direction of the *** with the end of the note with a gap in the line to link up, but also in the gap written on the Arabic numeral 3, to show that the three notes for the triplet (can also be used without a line, and directly in the *** with the end of the note on the writing of the Arabic numeral 3). If there is no end of the note, use a notched .

Pentatonic, hexatonic, and septatonic

Pentatonic, hexatonic, and septatonic is the process of dividing the time value of a fundamental note, which could otherwise be divided into four equal parts, into five, six, or seven equal parts. This is also a type of legato that is used more often.

The number of endings of the fifth, sixth, and seventh notes is equal to the number of endings of a note divided into four equal parts. That is: the number of note tails of the quintuplets, sextuplets, and septuplets produced by the quarter note is equal to the number of note tails of the sixteenth note? Two note tails; the number of note tails of a quintuplet, sextuplet, or septuplet produced by an eighth note is equal to the number of note tails of a thirty-second note? Three note tails; the number of note tails of a quintuplet, sextuplet, or septuplet produced by a whole note is equal to the number of note tails of a quarter note? No endings? And so on for the rest.

The pentatonic, hexatonic, and septatonic notes are written similarly to the triplet notes, except that the Arabic numerals on the end of the *** same note are changed to the corresponding 5, 6, and 7. Of course, if you don't have the *** same note end, you can use a notched line to connect the heads of these notes and write the corresponding numbers 5, 6, and 7.

Ninth and tenth notes

From the ninth and tenth notes all the way up to the fifteenth note, they are the basic notes that can be divided into eight equal parts. This is a lesser-used type of legato.

Ninth and tenth notes have the same number of endings as a base note divided equally into eighths. I.e., the number of note tails from the quarter note up to the fifteenth note is equal to the number of note tails of the thirty-second note? Three note tails; the number of note tails from the whole note up to the fifteenth note is equal to the number of note tails of the eighth note? One tail? and so on. Generally speaking, these legato notes do not have no endings.

Nine notes up to fifteen notes are written in a similar way to triplets, except that the Arabic numerals on the end of the *** same note are changed to the corresponding 9, 10, 15, etc.

The Arabic numerals on the end of the note are changed to the corresponding 9, 10, 15.
