Jul 8, 2021 at 12:52 comment added Andy Bonner Just to be clear, there are three concepts in play here: Meter, tempo, and rhythm. Meter = aka "the beat," represented by the time signature. It's more about how we think about the music than anything audible. A thought-model for grouping the actual sounds. A grid onto which the actual notes and their lengths are projected. Tempo = the rate at which those imaginary "beats" go by. Indicated by metronome marking in bpm. Rhythm = The actual sequence of longer or shorter notes, as noted with note durations, aligning to the conceptual grid of the meter/beat.
