Question

True or false simple meter is more complex than compound meter

Answer 1

False. Simple meter is generally considered less complex than compound meter. In simple meter, beats can typically be divided into two equal parts (e.g., 2/4, 3/4, 4/4), while in compound meter, the beats are divided into three equal parts (e.g., 6/8, 9/8, 12/8), which adds a layer of complexity.
