The only way I can understand rhythm of what we sing is by knowing the other notes heard or not heard at the same time as when my notes should be sung or not sung and then I sing them or I don't sing them.Did Beethoven really like notation because it seems that his music is more about feeling than where a note should be, since some notes come out of nowhere in their own sort of "hello,over here,here I am" sort of way. Just my thoughts.
