What's this about...
on: June 28, 2009, 08:22:39 PM
I'm currently learning Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King", and at the end, I am confused by something. (check out the attachment)

Basically, they are sixteenth notes but are empty, like half notes. In the MIDI I heard, it sounds as if its just alternating between the two notes.
