• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Patrice Larroque hypothesizes that early blues singers may have been influenced by the trochaic rhythm of English. This book suggests investigating the rhythm of English and the rhythm of blues in order to show how the linguistic rhythm of a culture can be reflected in the rhythm of its music.
