So we're at our next two measures, and are theme are triplets, and what a triplet does,
is it takes where two notes should be and puts in three. So, an eighth note triplet
instead of one and two and three and, would be one and-a, two and-a, three and-a, four,
and-a, one and-a, two and-a... Or if you do quarter notes triplets instead of one, two,
it's one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, one, two, three, one two, three, so.
You're subdividing into thirds. So this is what we have written out here, so if we look
at the music, we have eighth note triplets here. One and-a two, three, four and-a one
and-a two, three, four and again. One, one and-a, two, three, four and-a, one and-a two,
three, four and-a. And it sounds like this with the left hand. Two, three, four and-a,
one and-a, three, four and-a... And that brings us into our next measures. So you got this
one and-a two, three, four and-a, one and-a two, three, four and-a, one, two. So you get
the idea. And that's how you read triplets.
