RHY.14:1 - Problem frame

Use this when a rhythmic comparison needs observations that the available score, calculation or impression does not supply. A timing average can conceal an unmatched attack. Two passages can share attack positions while one loses continuous movement. A listener’s desire to move can differ from the movement actually performed.

Obtain the rhythmic observation that can change the next rehearsal, teaching, design or performance choice. The first result is a comparison tied to the observed passage and task, a relevant unresolved distinction, or a sufficient existing result that makes further observation unnecessary.

MDPE.12 already coordinates different kinds of music-or-dance evidence and their receiving decisions. Here the added work is constructing rhythmic observations: matching events, preserving the course between them, and eliciting or observing the particular response at issue. Use a sufficient direct observation without completing every branch below.
