Well done, Bob

Kosmo...

It's a pleasure to read macaco again on DeBaser. A beautiful review for a drummer I adore without a doubt. I'll definitely listen to this, I'm already noting it down.

Beautiful as a big round thing, as big as the world. The most significant verse in the history of Italian pop music.

A film that is hard to conceive, yet Fellini did it. Astonishing.

Ah, I forgot, you're right about the accents, of course. I didn't mean to say that all the sestinas have those accents, but it was always referring to the fact that one can think of the sestina as deriving from the duina. So I meant to say that to "conceive" the sestina, one could think of three duine, where the accent falls on the odd notes. I hope it's all clear.

Hello Count, it’s indeed my fault for writing poorly and not making myself clear, so I apologize to you, especially for the delay in my response! :)
Doubting whether I had made a mistake, I went to check in my old theory book. "Simple" time refers to a time where each movement is divided into two parts, while compound times (compound, not complex!) have a ternary subdivision.
Thus, "simple measure" at 2 beats is 2/2, 2/4, etc., and at 3 beats it’s 3/2, 3/4, etc.
Compound measures at 2 beats are 6/4, 6/8, etc., and at 3 beats it's 6/16, 9/4, etc.
Then, the irregular groups. Groups can be irregular due to formation (groups of 5, 7, 9 notes) or irregular in relation to the unit of time. As you rightly said, the sextet can be considered as formed by three duos or two trios.
The duo is a regular group in simple measures with binary subdivision, while it is irregular due to reduction concerning the time in a compound measure. The opposite applies to the trio, which is irregular due to excess in a simple measure and regular in a compound measure.
The sextet, deriving from the trio or the duo, if played in a simple subdivision, is irregular, whereas if played in a compound subdivision, it is regular.
Oh, of course, I wrote all this not to act like a teacher, but to be precise, since in DeB you cannot stray from a comma! I know you understand these concepts better than I do; it was just to clarify... :) Regards.

Hello Daniele. I confirm Grasshopper's words, one by one.

Hi, count. I remember it like this: the sestina is regular in complex meters, while it is irregular in simple meters. It's basically the same discussion as the tercet, except that a binary subdivision is applied to each note of the tercet, and the accents should be odd: 1st - 3rd - 5th. Am I wrong?

But come on, just say that Marcotulli is your relative! :) I don’t know Damiani. I found information about the 5-string cello. Technically, it’s called a 5-string cello, and it gets the attribute of baroque or Flemish depending on its setup. It should be an out-of-use instrument, something for musicologists. One of its peculiarities is the tuning in perfect fifths (C-G-D-A-E), with E being the highest string. At this point, you’ll rightly say who cares, and you’re right! Anyway, nice review as always and regards!
