Abstract: The secondary stress on the third beat in a simple quadruple meter facilitates half-measure hyperbeats. Through the shortening or lengthening of hyperbeats and/or hypermeasures, the hypermetric downbeat may shift to mid-measure creating a second-half-strong hypermetric state. The first movements of Haydn’s piano sonatas in D major Hob. XVI: 19, and G minor Hob. XVI: 44 contain many such hypermetric shifts between first-half- and second-half-strong. The shortening and lengthening of hypermeasures that generate and resolve these shifts have formal implications and create balance and unity in the movements on both local and global levels.
