A. Zoppa, used in the phrase Alla Zoppa, is an Italian musical term used in musical scores and refers to a syncopated beat. It is also a designation for a rhythm employing a short note on the BEAT, followed by another three times as long or longer (after the beat); synonym for syncopation or with a "SCOTCH SNAP". Think "TA-DAAAA"!
