Compound meter still implies a degree of underlying pulse though, so if used in that context, it actually wouldnt make sense to think of that as compound time. The reason is simple - 3/8 falls outside the rhythmic content of a single beat in those time signatures, so you couldnt percieve it as such without recontextualizing the underlying pulse.
The top numbers of compound meters can be divided by 3 and whatever they divide into determines what kind of meter they are. For example: 6÷3=2, so it's a compound duple 9÷3=3, so it's a compound triple 12÷3=4, so it's a compound quadruple. For ear training, you'll notice that simple meters have a more strict/measured feeling while compound ...
In simple time each beat could be divided into two. Compound time is the name given when the beat divides into 3. Each 'simple' time signature has an equivalent 'compound' time signature. The important points to remember is that anything with 2, 3 or 4 at the top is Simple time. Anything with 6, 9 or 12 at the top is in Compound time.
In simple time they are in pairs whereas in compound time they are grouped in 3's. If you compare 3/4 and 6/8, they both have 6 quavers but in 3/4 there are 3 groups of 2 and in 6/8 2 groups of 3. I hope that kind of makes sense.
In practical applications of the euroclassic idiom, 3/8 is sometimes de facto compound. In modern appropriations of classic music notation, the term "compound meter" has little meaning. If it is "simple triple" then it has 3 beats, each the length of an 8th note, which can be subdivided into 2 16th notes each.
Simple interest (Beginning balance) * (1 + (interest rate *number of time increments)) = ending balance. Compound interest (Beginning balance)* (1 + interest rate) number of time increments = ending balance. So if you have a 10% interest rate over 6 months and start with $1000, this is both scenarios:
Other. I have a question around the difference between these two types of interest. Based on my research, simple interest just applies interest to the principal amount while compounding interest applies interest to the principal + accrued interest. While this sounds very different at first glance, after thinking about it for a minute, they seem ...
Simple meters divide beats (often quarter notes) into subdivisions of two (often eighth notes). (3/4) 1 & 2 & 3 & Compound meters divide beats (often dotted quarter notes ) into subdivisions of three (often eighth notes ).
First, to answer your question: according to tradition, 3/4 is simple triple and 6/8 is compound duple. I say "according to tradition" because as you've already pointed out, 6/8 could be divided up the same way as 3/4 mathematically, and vice versa. And we DO have an established tradition of taking a "common" time signature and dividing it in ...
Compound interet is a proportion of your entire balance, of the sum of your original depisit and all the previous interest. Thus each interest payment is larger than the one before. With simple interest a graph of your balance over time is a straight line that rises constantly. With compound interest the graph is a curve always turning upward.
