Rhythm is the pattern of sound, silence, and emphasis in a song. In music theory, rhythm refers to the recurrence of notes and rests (silences) in time. When a series of notes and rests repeats, it forms a rhythmic pattern.

Decrescendos are also sometimes called diminuendos. Crescendos and decrescendos can also be notated through the use of hairpin symbols < >. The hairpin with the pointed end to the left (<) represents a crescendo and the hairpin with the pointed end to the right (>) represents a decrescendo.

“Barrelhouse music” refers to an early form of jazz, usually played on piano, with an accented two-beat rhythm.

• Random Rhythm.
• Regular Rhythm.
• Alternating Rhythm.
• Flowing Rhythm.

A barrel piano, also known as a street piano, uses a hand crank to turn a pinned barrel. The pins in the barrel hit the levers of the piano hammers, which then strike the piano strings, making a sound. How the pins are placed on the barrel determines what song is played.

A player piano (also known as a pianola) is a self-playing piano containing a pneumatic or electro-mechanical mechanism that operates the piano action via programmed music recorded on perforated paper or metallic rolls, with more modern implementations using MIDI.
