To rectify this problem I used a metronome to play at one hundred beats per minute as stated by the notation, then continued to practice the beat clapping the notes of the first bar then eventually continuing to the violin where…

the regular and irregular groupings of the beats. In ”Hooked on a Feeling,” by Blue Swede a steadfast rhythm is displayed by the stressing of the quarter note of every beat. This is first shown in the opener where the backup singers are repeating “ooga-chaka” and the First syllable of every word is stressed.

The way the different instruments in the piece sound and their tempos made it easier for me to have a response to this piece as opposed to the other pieces. *3. Description The general structure of piece No.4 is broken into three sections. The first section…
