Question

Image transcription textCount along with "Dippermouth Blues." Are you counting

4 beats or 2 beats per measure? Piano rags were usually
counted in 2 beats a measure. Does "Dippermouth"
sound different from the Joplin rags we've heard? Do the
accompaniment patterns of the rhythm section stay
constant for the entire piece? This piece introduces "stop-
time," a repeated rhythmic accompaniment pattern that
accents the downbeat of successive bars. "Stop-time"
can be performed in a variety of ways in a jazz group. In
this case, the rhythm section and accompanying
musicians accent beats 1, 2, 3 and rest on 4. This is
usually done behind an improvising soloist. Can you hear
where this occurs in the song? What are the second
markings (00:00) for when the stop-time begins? Why
would the band play stop-time? Does it enhance the
soloist in any way?... Show more

Answer 1

Answer:(1) There are 4 beats per measure that I count along with Dippermouth Blues. (2) The Dippermouth sounds different from the Joplin rags because the Joplin rags is faster than the Dippermouth Blues. (3) Both accompaniment patterns of the rhythm section of Dippermouth Blues and Joplin rags stayed constant for the entire piece. (4) The "stop-time" occurred in the song in the middle part. (5) The "stop-time" started at 0:38 seconds until 1:08. (6) The band plays stop-time to feature regular accented attacks on the first beat of each measure, alternating with an instrumental solo. (7) It enhances the solo instrument played in the music; it gives highlights to the wind instrument played in the music.
