Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In music, Common Time refers to the 4/4 time signature. It means that each bar (measure) of music has four beats and that a beat is equal to a quarter note. It's so common that the notes (in American English at least) are pretty much named for it. Why else would a 'whole note' (semibreve, for the non-Americans) be four beats and everything else taken as fractions? Why is it called 'quarter note' (crotchet) if it's not going to be quarter of a whole note? |
