=== Hemiola ===
Concerning the use of a two-over-three (2:3) [[hemiola]] in Beethoven's [[String Quartet No. 6 (Beethoven)|String Quartet No. 6]], Ernest Walker states, "The vigorously effective [[Scherzo]] is in {{music|time|3|4}} time, but with a curiously persistent [[cross-rhythm]] that does its best to persuade us that it is really in {{music|time|6|8}}."<ref>Walker, Ernest (1905: 79) ''The Music of the Masters; Beethoven''. New York: Brentano's Union Square.</ref>
