Examples from texts

Classical music, while rich in melody and harmony, usually relies on rigid rhythms. Musicians keep time by playing right on the beat.
La musique classique donne la priorité à la mélodie et à l'harmonie qu'elle fait reposer sur des structures rythmiques souvent rigides : les musiciens placent les accents sur les temps forts.
