Australian rock an is particularly significant, since it is a visual expression that has been practiced by contemporary as well as prehistoric Aboriginals. Robert Layton's most recent book -his "new synthesis" of Australian rock art- is an ambitious and successful analysis of Aboriginal rock art from across the continent.

The Uses Of Rubato In Music, Eighteenth To Twentieth Centuries, Sandra P. Rosenblum Jan 1994

The Uses Of Rubato In Music, Eighteenth To Twentieth Centuries, Sandra P. Rosenblum

Performance Practice Review

Tempo rubato is a disregard of certain notated properties of rhythm and tempo for the sake of expressive performance. There are two basic types of rubato practices.
