Domain-specific¶
- Syncopation
- The same structural logic — felt grid plus accent displacement against it — operates across jazz (the swung off-beat snare on beats 2 and 4; the syncopated comping of bebop pianists), funk (James Brown's heavily syncopated rhythmic displacement of the "one"), bossa nova and samba (the clave patterns whose structural asymmetry places accents between rather than on the beat), and in art-music contexts from Beethoven's sforzandi falling on harmonically weak beats through Stravinsky's metric displacements in the Rite of Spring, where the degree of syncopation is intense enough to periodically threaten the stability of the perceived meter itself
This sourceVan den Toorn's analysis of the Rite of Spring, in which the music's displacements begin to call the stability of the metre and the ostinato framework into question.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
