Minuetto, Adagio in A, three-four, the violin part in the nature of a florid cadenza but very clear in rhythm, the guitar accompaniment in semiquaver groups of broken chords.
The two bars preceding the final cadence have semiquaver groups to be played pizzicato, each note with right and left hand alternately.
And as the preceding Semiquaver rang a handbell, this shaked the sprinkle with his fist.
Pray did you observe, continued Epistemon, how this damned ill-favoured Semiquaver mentioned March as the best month for caterwauling?
Having pleased ourselves with observing that new order of Semiquaver Friars, we set sail, and in three days our skipper made the finest and most delightful island that ever was seen.
How Panurge asked a Semiquaver Friar many questions, and was only answered in monosyllables.
How we came to the island of Sandals; and of the order of Semiquaver Friars.
How Panurge asked a Semiquaver Friar many questions, and was only answered in monosyllables Chapter 5.
By this, said Epistemon, you may guess what kind of a pope it was who first enjoined it to be kept, since this filthy wooden-shoed Semiquaver owns that his spoon is never oftener nor deeper in the porringer of lechery than in Lent.
How we came to the island of Sandals; and of the order of Semiquaver Friars Chapter 5.
The semiquaver triplet should be executed with three smart bounces with the up-bow; then the bow should be controlled, and lightly drawn for the two tied quavers.
B, here the longer note is played with an up bow-stroke, the semiquaver receiving a smart, light, down bow.
The upper half of the bow may be used, the bow being almost drawn to the point, then suddenly stopped to allow the semiquaver to have a distinct stroke, for the latter, using about a couple of inches of bow with a wrist movement only.
In mixed bowings as Example 47b, the same quantity of bow stroke must be used for the detached note as for the slurs; the detached quaver or semiquaver in each case being taken with a light up-bow.
Then a tone-picture is given of the encounter; the heavy tread of the Philistine is heard in the bass, while semiquaver passages, evolved from a figure in the preceding movement, evidently portray the spirited youth.
It commences, not, as in most cases, with the opening theme or figure of the first section, but with a group of semiquaver notes which appears later in that section.
From time to time a curious syncopated semiquaver figure is heard in the upper part: it may be intended to represent sobbing.
And farther on, in the part of the polonaise where the ostinato semiquaver figure in octaves for the left hand begins, do we not hear the trampling of horses, the clatter of arms and spurs, and the sound of trumpets?
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "semiquaver" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: accidental; crotchet; dominant; flat; minim; natural; note; quaver; report; sharp; staccato; tone; triplet
