That's how I conduct that sort of passage -- 4 quarter-note beats indicated for the 4/4, then 3 half-note beats indicated in the 3/2 measures, each of which is twice as slow as the quarter note beats of the 4/4 passage. Thus the speed of the quarter note is maintained and the emphasis as implied by the meter is indicated, putting the stress on 1, 3, 5 in the 3/2 sections as the original poster intends. -- David H.
