I’m gonna do my best to explain what I mean here. I’m not a musician, but I love listening to classical music. As I’m listening, sometimes I count along with the beats in my head or pretend to conduct the music. It’s always really clear which beat is the downbeat, even with a solo instrument and even if you don’t start the piece from the beginning, but I don’t understand why? What stops you counting the from the 3rd beat instead of the first?

In modern music, you can divide the songs in different structures, usually 16/32/64 beats. Most popular songs usually have a 16 best loop repeated twice in each structure, after that they usually have a marker or they add/delete an instrument. Your brain picks on that patterns without you noticing
