More about lesson with Lipsey

"Why does Adams choose 3/4 meter? (Me: Because it's round and every swinging?) Not really. Think about it, it's just the same as why Bach used it. Because 3/4, when you play it in double time, which means in 8th notes, you totally change to a different tempo! You don't need to change tempo markings or the meters! See, now you have '1-2-3, 1-2-3' and then the next thing will be '123456, 123456' then if u want it faster, 16th notes '123456789101112, 123456789101112!' (Me: Ooh~~~)"
