Unlike other English theoretical writings of the period, Synopsis derives many of its aspects from the Italian tradition, including the modern fractional time signatures, the first references in English to compound time and the first explanations of tempo terms such as Adagio and Presto. The treatise forms an important link between English and continental theoretical traditions.
