Question

True or false simple meter is more complex than compound mater

Answer 1

False. Simple meter is generally considered less complex than compound meter. Simple meter consists of beats that can be divided into two equal parts (e.g., 2/4, 3/4, 4/4), while compound meter consists of beats that are divided into three equal parts (e.g., 6/8, 9/8, 12/8). The structure of simple meter makes it easier to feel and understand compared to the more intricate divisions in compound meter.
