Stravinsky's Octet for Wind Instruments "ends with a jazzy 3+3+2 = 8 swung coda". [10] Stravinsky himself found a kinship with additive rhythms in music of the renaissance and baroque periods.

The Berceuses du chat were composed in 1915/16 while Stravinsky was living in Clarens, Switzerland, during World War I.

4 followed by a measure of 2 4, or the opposite: 2 4 then 3 4.

Stravinsky's music is typically divided into three style periods: the Russian period (c. 1907–1919), the neoclassical period (c. 1920–1954), and the serial period (1954–1968). Stravinsky's Russian period is characterized by the use of Russian folk tunes and the influence of Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Glazunov, and Taneyev.
In the Pirin area, the khoro has a rhythm subdivided 3+2+2, and two varieties of it are the pravo makedonsko ("straight Macedonian") and the mazhka rachenitsa ("men's rachenitsa").
