    Steve Reich: Clapping Music

    A rhythmically very interesting composition is Clapping Music by Steve Reich. It is based on a rhythmic
    motiv, which is repeatedly clapped by two players. One player repeats the motiv as given, while the other
    player claps a iteratively shifted version of the motiv. At each shift, the motiv is displaced by one eighth
    note to the left, wherupon the rhythm is wrapped. A corresponding score is shown below:
