Some of the older documents have tunes notated as individual quavers, rather than, as we are more used to, in groups of 2 or 4 at a time. Also there is a tendency in older manuscripts to use 6/8 where, listening to the tune being played, you might think 3/4 was more appropriate: then you get a modern player coming across one of these manuscripts, and seeing the 6/8, interprets it as a fast jig! |
