Thanks, Simon and Neil... It sounds like the bottom line is that 1-1/2 rotations of the wheel are needed for one measure in all three tune types: 3-time bourree, mazurka and waltz (although they differ in speed and where the beats are emphasized). I knew the 1-1/2 rotations system was true for mazurka and waltz, but was never clear about the proper way to do coups on the 3-time bourree, and now I've got some bad habits to rework. Better late than never! Thanks for clarifying this. Mitch In a message dated 10/26/2010 5:07:14 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi Mitch If you split the rotation into 3, your wheel speed will be very slow and this technique is normally only used for 6/8 time. Your up-down, down-up is correct though the feel is not the same as a waltz.
