    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lombard_rhythm

    This reverses the pattern normally associated with dotted notes or notes inégales, in which the longer value precedes the shorter.

    A quaver, a dotted quaver, and a semiquaver, all joined with a primary beam (the semiquaver has a secondary beam) In musical notation, a beam is a horizontal or diagonal line used to connect multiple consecutive notes (and occasionally rests) to indicate rhythmic grouping. Only eighth notes (quavers) or shorter can be beamed.

    A single eighth note, or any faster note, is always stemmed with flags, while two or more are usually beamed in groups.

Other cross-rhythms are 4:3 (with 4 dotted eighth notes over 3 quarter notes within a bar of 3

    The main lyrical theme of the movement which begins with a sixteenth note pickup to a dotted eighth note will be heard in many variations throughout the rest of the movements of the quartet. [5] The first movement features extensive tremolo, which also leads into the repeat of the exposition. While many composers deconstruct a theme to smaller ...
