Usage
of this
figure

This figure and the following one comprise secondary sixteenth note syncopations, that is, with no support from the beat.
A figure like this one, containing only one long note on the second sixteenth note, has long been unpopular.
It was one of the two last figures to be accepted at the end of the rhythm revolution of the 1975-85 period.
