Damien Riehl January 9, 2022 at 4:01 pm Ben Ratner must not be a percussionist — or must have never played a clave. Because that’s the standard clave rhythm: “3:2 son clave.” https://www.masterclass.com/articles/learn-about-music-clave-rhythm-definition-and-examples#what-does-son-clave-mean DId “The Heights” copy all of the songs listed here? https://musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/ThreeTwoClave.html Nope — because nobody owns that rhythm. It’s been around for ages. And is not copyrightable. In copyright terms, it’s “scenes a faire.” Reply ↓
