If signature does not denote tempo, why do we need signatures like 2/4 or 6/8? Why can’t the music just be written in 4/4 or 3/4?
In: 30
6/8 and 3/4 are different because the stress is on different beats.
In the below examples, * is used for the primary stressed beat and ^ is used for the secondary stressed beat(s).
* – – ^ – – is 6/8 with eighth notes
* – ^ – ^ – is 3/4 with eighth notes
