I'm not native English speaking and not familiar with the technical terms in music. Thus this seems quite hard to Google an answer to...
In a dance, like a slow waltz, the count goes: 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3...
.
What are the correct technical terms for one count, like a 1
, and for a set of counts that is repeated, like 1-2-3
?
I often hear people use the word beat
at random to describe it all. In Danish the words takt
and taktslag
are used as far as I know, but I can't seem to find it in the dictionary when trying to translate to English.
What are actually the correct terms?
