Abstract

Abstract.— Two pianists and one percussionist performed a number of notated rhythms on the piano and on the side drum or the bongo drum. The tape‐recordings of the performances were analyzed by an analyzer for mono‐phonic sound sequences as regards the durations and the amplitudes. Several characteristic deviations from the norms implied by the musical notation appeared. The recordings were used as stimuli in experiments on rhythm experience described elsewhere.
