Metrical Hierarchy and Time Signatures

In what way does the hierarchical nature of meter help in determining the time signature of Debussy’s ‘Clair de Lune’, which features groups of three notes?

A

It allows for the analysis of beat groupings at multiple levels, revealing whether the three-note groups function as the primary beat or as subdivisions

B

It automatically classifies any piece with groups of three notes as a compound meter in 6/8 time

C

It disregards the presence of three-note groups in favor of a strict duple meter interpretation

D

It prioritizes the surface-level rhythm over the underlying metrical structure
