Mascarada - II. Balla

Listen for the pizzicato found in this section!

Four dotted eighth notes are played consecutively in a 4/4 bar, followed by a quarter rest. This syncopation is seen clearly in the cellist’s bowing from 5:27-5:32, then interspersed throughout the music, especially when the players drum on their instruments. 

(Syncopation notated here!)

Listen to the quarter note triplet figure in a 4/4 bar (two triplets per measure)
