Syncopatio

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Syncopatio is a historical name for the musical-rhythmic design means of the syncope . The Latin expression in this sense was introduced in 1613 by Johannes Nucius instead of the older expression Syncopa .

In the tradition of the theory of figures , the syncopa or syncopatio was commented and cataloged differently.

Christoph Bernhard uses syncopatio in a narrower sense for syncope dissonance and its preparation. Joachim Burmeister had already defined Syncopa in this sense .

Other theorists of the 17th and 18th centuries either do not explicitly address a relationship between syncopatio and dissonance, or mention both the possibility of syncopatio without and one with syncopation.
