  2. Time signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature

    Example of an irrational 4 3 time signature: here there are four (4) third notes (3) per measure. A "third note" would be one third of a whole note, and thus is a half-note triplet. The second measure of 4 2 presents the same notes, so the 4 3 time signature serves to indicate the precise speed relationship between the notes in the two measures.

    For example, compound duple (two beats, each divided into three) is written as a time signature with a numerator of six, for example, 6 8. Contrast this with the time signature 3 4, which also assigns six eighth notes to each measure, but by convention connotes a simple triple time: 3 quarter-note beats. Examples of compound metre include 6

    Marches can be written in any time signature, but the most common time signatures are 4 4, 2 2 (alla breve, although this may refer to 2 time of Johannes Brahms, or cut time), or 6 8.

    8 time, despite the 3 4 metre stated in the initial time-signature. [13] The latter time is restored only at the cadences (bars 4 and 11–12): Bach: Minuet from Partita 5 in G bars 1–12 Bach: Minuet from Partita 5 in G bars 1–12. Later in the same piece, Bach creates a conflict between the two metres (6 8 against 3 4):
