Rhythm of the Classical Era
- The rhythm is simple and regular
- Infrequent changes of pace within a movement.
- The propulsion stems from rhythmic patterns in the accompaniment or from the bass accenting the beats while other voices play the off-beats.
- The music may alternate between different lengths of notes but it never strays from its general rhythm.
- Use of motifs was very common
- The rhythm that was developed in the exposition was used throughout the development and the recapitulation
- Changes of meter and some simple syncopated rhythms were used
~ Syncopation
- Sudden accentuations on strong and weak beats/displaced accents
- Rhythmic pulsation in the motifs which propels the music forward
- Very Symmetric
- Silence was used for effect
