Bar line = ?( end of measure, I don't think so). Thanks again. In a message dated 4/21/2008 11:56:13 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Yeah, I knew this would be confusing to write about. Bar is the bar line. To clarify, I was speaking of the final note of the phrase, but the final note of a phrase is not always strong, because sometimes, the music following takes up where that leaves off. Another general rule, and usually a safe bet, is to only "finalize" the last note of a phrase if it is then end of a section of a movement (such as the resolution of a trill at the end of the exposition of a Mozart concerto) or the final chord or note of a piece or movement.

How do you equate the bar with the entire phrase. Or am I misdefining bar. Ron In a message dated 4/19/2008 9:11:11 P.M.
