duration

In music, duration is an amount of time or how long or short a note, phrase, section, or composition lasts.

There are several important aspects of rhythm: DURATION: how long a sound (or silence) lasts. TEMPO: the speed of the BEAT. NOTE: These tempos are not specific - but RELATIVE to each other.

Duration is how long something lasts, from beginning to end. A duration might be long, such as the duration of a lecture series, or short, as the duration of a party. The noun duration has come to mean the length of time one thing takes to be completed.

Pitch is the relative height (highness) or depth (lowness) of the musical sound. Duration is the specific length of time of the musical sound. Intensity relates to the volume of loudness of the musical sound. Accent is the stress or emphasis on certain notes or beats present in the musical composition.

What Is Duration? Duration can measure how long it takes, in years, for an investor to be repaid a bond's price by the bond's total cash flows. Duration can also measure the sensitivity of a bond's or fixed income portfolio's price to changes in interest rates.

Duration is something you may measure between timelike separated events while time is always something you compute by adding up duration measurements + an arbitrary constant to fix the origin.

It is: BPM divided by top number of time signature = number of bars per minute. As long as the BPM corresponds to the bottom number of the time signature you don't need it. If the BPM corresponds to a group of notes, say 3 notes in 9/8 then divide by the number of groups per measure, in the case of 9/8 it's 3.

There are seven of these: Pitch, Duration, Dynamics, Tempo, Timbre, Texture and Structure. Pitch is the degree of highness or lowness of a tone. Duration is the length of time a note lasts for.

Duration is defined as the average time it takes to receive all the cash flows of a bond, weighted by the present value of each of the cash flows. Essentially, it is the payment-weighted point in time at which an investor can expect to recoup his or her original investment.

In its. basic form, duration measures the weighted. average of the present value of the cash flows. All of the components of a bond - price, cou- pon, maturity, and interest.

The simplest-looking note, with no stems or flags, is a whole note. All other note lengths are defined by how long they last compared to a whole note. A note that lasts half as long as a whole note is a half note. A note that lasts a quarter as long as a whole note is a quarter note.

Duration can help predict the likely change in the price of a bond given a change in interest rates. As a general rule, for every 1% increase or decrease in interest rates, a bond's price will change approximately 1% in the opposite direction for every year of duration.
