Carroll shrugged, placed his long, slender fingers on the keys shook his head and went to it. He played! A genuine artist he tried to enter into the spirit of the thing and succeeded admirably. The itchy syncopation rocked the room. His hostess snapped her fingers deliciously and executed a few movements of a dance which Carroll had heard referred to vaguely as the shimmy.
It is rather fully developed before the second subject enters; this, on the other hand, is hardly insinuated in its relative major before the rather inelaborate elaboration begins. In the romanza, syncopation and imitation are much relied on, though the general atmosphere is that of a nocturne, a trio of dance-like manner breaking in. The final rondo combines a clog with a choral intermezzo.
Ach! What syncopation! All right in its place, my dear, but a whole evening of it! Ach, drives me it grows tiresome, Anna." "Some day, father, you will not play there," she said with emphasis. "Some day will come fortune to us some day." "Yes; perhaps; some day. But there is something finer than a fortune, Anna. I have been thinking, thinking, thinking, lately, of your mother, Anna.
Nevin's first published work was a modest "Serenade," with a neat touch of syncopation, which he wrote at the age of eighteen. It opens with a bright gavotte, in which adherence to the classic spirit compels a certain reminiscence of tone.
A writer of greater gifts, Virginia Woolf, has lately developed a taste for playing tricks with traditional constructions. Certainly she "leaves out" with the boldest of them: here is syncopation if you like it. I am not sure that I do.

He would not have told her all the details of his battles against rag-time, for the world. "It is music of the negroes, Anna. Er er syncopation.
His Opus 6, dated the same year, was his wonderfully emotional group, "The Davidsbündlertänze." The opening number is based upon a theme by Clara Wieck, and in certain of the chords written in syncopation, I always feel that I hear him calling aloud, "Clara! Clara!" His hope that this musical appeal might bring her to him was in vain, and he began to doubt her faith.
He thought he felt a thump against the side of the car, but the impression faded before it was fully born. In a remote corner of his mind the ticking of his watch sounded as a cold, measured rhythm, a metronome with delusions of syncopation.
Opus 26 includes ten sketches, all good, especially "Woodnotes," a charming tone-poem, the deliciously simple "Wayside Flowers," "Under the Lindens," which is a masterpiece of beautiful syncopation, a refreshingly interesting bit in the hackneyed "Millstream" form, and a "Village Dance," which has much of that quaint flavor that makes Heller's études a perennial delight.
Amplifications of the same harmonies introduced a fresh accession of violoncelli and oboi contrasted artfully in syncopation, till at length the strides of the accelerando gave a glittering precipitation to the entrance of the second and longest movement. "Then Anastase turned upon me, and with the first bar we fell into a tumultuous presto.
