Notes inégales

The Notes inégales [ nɔt ineɡal ] from the French " unequal notes " are a kind of lecture which. Mainly in French music of the 16th-18th Century was common.

In the Notes inégales a sequence of evenly -eighths or sixteenths listed is unequaled, that is running unevenly. There are different " degrees " of puncturing.

After Louis Couperin, a distinction:

  • Détaché: Uniform eighth
  • Loure: Light inégalité - such as the ternary rhythm in jazz
  • Piqué: Sharp dismissal of the second eighth, such as dotted notes.

The character of the play is the deciding factor for both the degree of puncturing, ie for values ​​lengthening or shortening values ​​of the notes, as well as for the frequency of application.
