Time Signatures in music - why do they matter? What is 4/4 anyway? [my answers]

in musictheory •  8 years ago 

Yeah, I am very familiar with this. I actually myself do not recognize time signatures unless I'm forced to count them. I just tend to feel the music as a whole. I don't sight read for example. I am slow at it as I was late at life in learning any of that. I am mostly by ear. I can read music... slowly. Once I know a piece I don't need the music. Most things I do play I never had sheet music just learned by ear.

Yet when discussing Time Signatures and complexity of music you and I already know what they are referring to. Yet, to people that do not know the term discussing how amazingly complex something is to people and referring to how often the time signatures change is meaningless.

I viewed this post as simply another tool for music appreciation. It might give people that didn't know such concepts another VIEW into music.

No doubt. I am merely pointing out something and not critiquing what was written in the post, just adding a little something extra, that like you said, you and I already know, but maybe others hadn't actually considered.

Best of everything to you, bud.
