    The new types of music in Italy around the year 1600 led composers to introduce innovative rhythmic notation. Froberger, however, utilized only a few simple time signatures, though he clearly intended his compositions to include a variety of tempo changes. He cleverly interweaves various rhythms and rhythmic figures to make the tempo fluctuate without disturbing the tactus. This is evident especially in his strict contrapuntal compositions, but the idea of strict proportions can also be observed in his French-style music. There is apparently a close tempo relationship between the movements of the dance suites.
