Twentieth-century music has significantly advanced the role of
rhythm. The many variants of rhythmic notation, standard and
experimental alike, encountered in contemporary music frequently
demand explanation and interpretation. This book catalogs and
clarifies the numerous ways of notating syncopation and alternative
standard rhythmic figures, new time signatures, irrational rhythmic
groupings within regular and irregular meters, experimental
metrical concepts and techniques, analogs, and, finally,
polymeters. Read compares traditional and present-day methods of
delineating the same musical expressions, from fairly simple
combinations to extremely complicated patterns.
