Tuplets - Three Minute Music Theory #29

Professor Sharp teaches about tuplets. A tuplet is a generic term that describes a grouping of notes that would not normally occur within a beat. Discussing tuplets that are 2 notes in one beat, 3 notes in one beat. 5 notes in one beat, 6 notes in one beat, 7 notes in one beat, 9 notes in one beat, 10 notes in one beat, and nested tuplets.

I really like music theory videos with lots of actual music examples, somehow they are quite rare, great channel! btw that last nested tuplets one was indeed borderline absurd

[@an_internet_user2311]

The intro is unnecessarily epic. 😅

[@cykratzer3463]

can you take a look into Zappa's use of tuplets. I love his music, but some of it seems unplayable if you look at his notation. He would have tuplets of 17 or 25.

Nice video. IMO, those 9:4 and 10:4 tuplets should be avoided and instead written as 9:8 and 10:8 tuplets of 32nd notes.

Thank you. And thank you for your comment. I was on the fence about which way I wanted to write them because I have seen them both ways. In Ligeti's Chamber Concerto, he uses 32nd notes; in his Requiem, he uses 16th notes. I kept them 16ths in this video for the constancy of dividing the beat. I agree that it looks nicer to use 32nds.
