Why? <br /><br />I think you are getting semantic to discuss the harmonic implication of hemiola. It’s a rhythm in contemporary use of the language. If you insist on that definition, then you are correct, it’s not a hemiola. It’s a three against two rhythm.Bondelevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903592870589154181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-55034002839627331682010-01-26T23:37:53.204-07:002010-01-26T23:37:53.204-07:00A real hemiola is not only a rythmic, but also a h...A real hemiola is not only a rythmic, but also a harmonic pattern, with the dominant on the second beat of the second bar (absolutely not the case here). A conductor who would beat the beginning of that movement like a hemiola would be an idiot.Skepticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960453245351962849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-41821627580690222262010-01-26T23:34:07.546-07:002010-01-26T23:34:07.546-07:00No, but three half notes against two bars do form ...No, but three half notes against two bars do form a hemiola, even when the last half note is sub-divided as four eight notes. <br /><br />If you’re really so sure of yourself, why don’t you post your real name, like I do?Bondelevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903592870589154181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-43679659738132720172010-01-26T23:31:00.649-07:002010-01-26T23:31:00.649-07:00A syncopation is not a hemiola, dude...A syncopation is not a hemiola, dude...Skepticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960453245351962849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-79185598833816335802010-01-26T23:30:00.966-07:002010-01-26T23:30:00.966-07:00http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._40_(Moza...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._40_(Mozart)<br /><br />"The minuet begins with an angry, cross-accented hemiola rhythm and a pair of three-bar phrases; various commentators have asserted that while the music is labeled "minuet," it would hardly be suitable for dancing. The contrasting gentle trio section, in G major, alternates the playing of the string section with that of the winds."Bondelevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903592870589154181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-11309412852501023892010-01-26T23:29:50.653-07:002010-01-26T23:29:50.653-07:00Mmm...
