Wondering if there is a Musical Word in the Italian Language that speaks of Elasticity. .

Yes they can be.
If you programme the strict notation into a drum machine it just sounds wrong.

I had this discussion with a Mandolin player who is adamant that Rhythm is completely structural and cannot " Stretch " like Pizza Cheese! I disagreed of course. Wondering if there is a Musical Word in the Italian Language that speaks of Elasticity. Like "Arpeggio" for instance.. "Del Stretchio" maybe. Well i should have done the Googles first but it's fun to hear what you guys think. Here's one ! "Accompagnato" to follow the singer who may speed up or slow down.
Well, there are structural tempo changes. Both, metrically specified and left to the performers discretion. It isn't peculiar to traditional Chinese music, but many of the metric forms have sections of different meter as well as sections of free meter, parts of the melody are expected to change tempo in certain pieces and the drummer who is actually also the conductor is expected to accent these metric changes. These forms are used across melodies and are actually a more general structural element. Unfortunately these things are passed on performer to performer and there aren't resources for learning these other than listening to performances. These metric forms are almost like rudiments in western percussion.
The best example of elasticity in music among all the choices IMO, is the lone piano player. Lone piano players can employ elasticity to great effect.

Then again, the old hits pushed and pulled plenty and were usually much better music on almost all levels than the ugly, dumb, heartless, one-dimensional overcompressed artificial music-like products that large companies produce today.In my world there is no elasticity, except when I lose focus for a split second lol. My opinion is elasticity is a quality of higher forms of music. Like top 40, if there is still such a thing, it's all click. I'd say there's little to no elasticity in pop music.
