Should the rhythm be broken (polyrhythm) or should the 3rd note of the triplets play with the 2nd of the duplets? Thank you. piano obsessive craneclassical Registered User From: Atlanta, Ga Registered: 9/5/2003 posted: 1/20/2005 at 8:15:12 PM ET Many scholars have varied opinions about this issue. Som think you are to assimilate the notes to line up the rhythm. It is also an issue with many schubert compositions. I think it is best to make all line up, instead of poly rhythmic.
