Hi,

The Spanish Gypsy dance phrasing is:

8 8 8 8 4
8 8 8 8 8 8 3 ! 1
8 10 8 6 8 8 8 8 5 ! 1
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 5 8 !
where ! is a highlight


My question is: Is all paso music phrased in the same way even if it sounds different or does the positions of the highlights and number of beats in the "strange bars" (i.e 10 & 6 in 2nd and 4th bar of 3rd phrase) change.

Thanks :-)

Hey,

Some Paso music is arranged just in 8s with/without a distinct highlight.
