When you listen to a guitar duet and the guitarists seem to be playing the right notes at the wrong time, which of following would best explain the problem? One of the guitars is too loud.
One or more of the guitars is out of tune.
The guitars are being held incorrectly.
One or more of the guitarists is not keeping a steady beat.

the answer is counterpoint.

counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

counterpoint is present in a lot of baroque music- such as bach (notably his wtc prelude and fugues) and scarlatti, but can also be found in music by mozart, beethoven. it can even be found in music as modern as john williams!
