a "pattern" is those little lines you make on those deodorizing urinal cakes
here's how i think of it:
here's a typical oscar pattern:
a f# g a bb c d f# a
string it together and you get a typical oscar run:
a f# g a bb c d f# a f# g a bb c d f# a f# g a bb c d f# a
a run is a scale or an arpeggio which more than likely would have notes of equal timing.
1. c major scale; cde def efg fga etc
2. c minor pentatonic: cebf ebfg fgbb gbbc
3. c7 arpeggio: ceg egbb gbbc bbce
a 'run' can be any sequence of notes that is memorable - it is much harder term to pin down, a bit like the word 'lick'. perhaps 'run' implies a linear quality, rather than any old lick?
does it matter, if it sounds good?!
exercize book for students. thanks to all, i am getting closer.
but it is amazing all the books i have in my house that have the word "pattern" in the title and immediatly use the word run in the opening pages but do not bother to define either term.
a pattern of notes ussually played allegro or allegretto.
or often a pattern made up of 16h notes
pattern (a logical sequence,scalar or chordal, etc.) ussually played
fast... often 16th notes.
how about that one??? what do you think???
i think that's the key word, imagine.
pattern (a logical sequence,scalar or chordal, etc.) ussually played
fast... often 16th notes but can be triplets, 16ths, quintuplets, 16th triplets, groups of 7 or anything else you can imagine.
ok well how about that then???
a run could also be a "cadenza" - out of time.
could "run" just be synonymous with the word phrase?
could you define "lick", please?
i guess whichever one involves a waitress...
