When is it better to beam eighth notes/quavers by four rather than by two (with C as time signature), in 17th-century pieces? Are there any rules for this?
You hardly find any exampels where it is beamed in two, and the time signature is always C; I think is was first with Mahler and Debussy that 4/4 was introduced and then the engraving practice continued to beam the measure as 4+4. Schoenberg distinguish between C and 4/4, but that did not influenced how the 8ths was beamed.
Thanks, Ole, for your reply. I remember reading somewhere, but can't find it, of course, that this beaming by four was only recommended if there were only 8th notes/quavers under the beam: if you have a dotted 8th and a 16th, for instance, you should revert to beaming by two. Can anyone remind me where I read this? Or comment on this rule?
Thanks.
