  9. COMPOUND TIME Definition: each beat is a DOTTED note, divisible into thirds. COMPOUND DUPLE: COMPOUND TRIPLE: COMPOUND QUADRUPLE:

  10. Compound time: Mozart’s Serenade No. 12 in C minor, K388 Theme: Oboes and Bassoons, 2/4 time

  14. Syncopation This can be done through: • Accenting a weak beat
